Goodbye Google News - Continuing the Journey to Simplicity

I wrote about the subject of overexposure to the news back in November. I have slowly reduced my own exposure during the past few months.

After speaking with a like-minded colleague at work, I decided to stop looking at Google news and reduce my news intake even further to the point that I am essentially getting all my news by glancing at headlines in newspaper boxes on the street and through blogs/e-mail.

I can't say that I feel that I am missing anything.

Postscript:

Last week I read this book on the subject. With a brilliant premise, it had tremendous potential. I felt betrayed after finishing it since it did not go far enough and settled for the easy Hollywood ending. I don't recommend it.
