Information overload?

RSS might not be perfect, but it sure is a big help in freeing up my time from searching to reading. The option to read or not to read a full article is a plus, as well as the ease with which aggregators work. However, sites that update very frequently are a complication and with these sites it may be hard to distinguish good info from junk, or a topic not of interest. Categorizing feeds helps with topic organization and eliminates random reading. I began using a ning at school, and like the option of defining a 'Twitter Tweet' with keywords that are of interest to me. So does RSS help or contribute to information overload? Information overload is a facet of life today, so I'm of the opinion that it can only help in an inevitable situation.
