I just participated in a survey from Basex about information overload – it was quick and easy, and I recommend as many knowledge workers as possible take the survey.

Basex notes that, “Information overload is a problem that impacts organizations of all shapes and sizes, including yours. It is a costly side effect of the emergence of the knowledge economy, and is an unavoidable part of its growing pains. Information overload results in lowered productivity and throttled innovation, with costs in the billions. We see it every day in the high cost of unnecessary interruptions in the workplace, overloaded e-mail in-boxes, and the explosion in content creation.” To combat this problem, Basex put together a survey that will help gather information about how workers are impacted by this problem. (and survey participants have the chance to win a brand new Palm Treo). You can find the survey at http://tinyurl.com/9xzehe.

On a totally separate note — we’ve all heard the phrase “My quote was taken out of context,” and many of us who speak to the press are often disappointed that what we said or meant to say didn’t come across properly. So it’s a nice treat when a reporter gets it right. In his article on destinationCRM, Christopher Musico did a good job of laying out some of my thoughts about UC and a few of the highlights of my UC market study.
