Stop Being Lazy and Filter Your Inbound Content

I am lucky enough to have a panel up for voting at SXSW in 2011 for the above title.  Here is the excerpt:

We are constantly adding new RSS feeds, streams and sources for our own consumption. Soon we file virtual bankruptcy and start over, leaving behind the sources we trusted. What we do not learn is the value that drew those sources to us in the first place. Learn how to use smarter filtering, tools and resources to streamline, remove duplication and find the most important information.

There will be a slew of questions I answer along the way:

1. What are the top tools you use for filtering content?
2. Are you basing your flow on keywords, broad topics or searches?
3. How did you build your trusted referral group?
4. Is a micro-community a source for filtering information?
5. Can you oversubscribe to a particular topic?

I hope you would take a moment to vote for the SXSW session if you like the idea, even if you are not attending in March 2011.  I will be posting the slides and content after the event.
