Do you sometimes feel like you’re in information overload? You can now get your news through a number of different mediums and channels: TV, Radio, Facebook, Twitter, Google News, etc etc. There are some great tools online to help monitor what topics are trending (i.e. what is everyone else listening to/reading?) This helps cut through the news clutter (for me at least).
