The Producer Price index (PPI) last week showed a bigger-than-expected rise in wholesale prices, fundeling com but little in the way of so-called core inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy prices. Iran directly funds the activities of the terrorist groups Hamas and Hizbullah. animud http://www.animud.com/blog/links/

How much time should be dedicated to following links within articles?

I think the best answer is for you to decide in a very general way how deep you want to go, and how much time you want to devote to news reading. The answer to that question is what will guide your decisions on whether to follow links or not.

If you agree with yourself that you should spend no more than 15-30 minutes reading news, then you can't really follow too many links at all. But if you devote an hour then you can follow a good number of links on a whim without crossing into the "too much" territory. It's all about how important you think casual browsing/reading is.

This piece, by the way, is sort of oriented towards those who have come to the conclusion that reading news is not as important as doing other things. If that's the case for you then I would consider not following any links at all during "regular" news reading. If anything, just archive/bookmark for later. If you want to do that kind of deep browsing in a dedicated session then go ahead and do so as a separate activity, but I think it'd be best if you kept your daily reading down to the sources you've selected. That's my take on it...hope it helps.

I see two problems:

Using bloglines doesn't have the "close the other app" benefit. I use bloglines, but I open the other tabs in the same window... is there any way to open tabs in a different window? That might help. And I hate getting a big pile of open windows on my desktop;

Also, blog articles also link to other things on the net... I guess my issue isn;'t so much with undisciplined feed use, it's with undisciplined surfing in general. Blog pages are web pages, after all.

Any tips for managing that habit?

Productivity: Reading News The GTD Way

Daniel Miessler describes his system for efficiently reading news using an RSS aggregator and a browser with tabs, based on David Allen's Getting Things Done.

Just to throw this into the hat – there is an RSS Reader called Sage which runs in the sidebar of Firefox. Would give you full integration. One app to start with, just close that sidebar when you’ve gone through your feeds.

my pleasure. and while you're at it, check out DevonThink Pro's sister app, DevonAgent. It's like having a paid internet search assistant. If you use the web for serious research, it's amazing. It can be structured to look at specified websites, it can actually use artificial intelligence to follow promising links up to 5 levels deep, it can be setup to crawl websites you frequent to find new information, very impressive application and when used in tandem with DevonThink Pro, the power is remarkable.

on a side note, i read a few threads at the DevonTech forums where some folks are using DevonThink Pro as their GTD tool. Lots of ways to skin this cat, i guess.

Wow, interesting app concept, Rick. I'll definitely check into that too. I myself use Delicious for indexing good content, and as Dimitri pointed out, I should have included that step in the write-up.

I definitely see your point though; I just think it's a matter of personal preference at a certain point. I personally want to view all web content in Firefox right now. That, of course, could change at some point, but for now it's my preference.

So not only do I think having the second app as a layer of separation is a good idea, I also wouldn't want to view the content within NNW itself. Again, just a personal preference, though.

Thanks so much for the valuable input. :)
