I keep going back to these press releases and reading them. I still am a little confused and dismayed and disappointed and annoyed and ... and don't really know how I feel about it.

"Founded this summer, IORG's mission is to build awareness of the world's greatest challenge to productivity, conduct research, help define best practices, contribute to the creation of solutions and resources, offer guidance and facilitation and help make the business case for fighting information overload. "
Is that not what librarians have been doing for centuries? Fighting information overload?
And now MPOW has joined in the fight.
Their mission
"We work together to build awareness of the world's greatest challenge to productivity, conduct research, help define best practices, contribute to the creation of solutions, share information and resources, offer guidance and facilitation, and help make the business case for fighting information overload."
So, how do you feel about an organization set up by big business to fight information overload and reduce information pollution?
