My First Step

Good Evening,

Friends this is my first step in the world of blogging. By profession I am into information designing and content management. And all these have been in the field of financial information.

I am not a financial or a technology expert. All my learning’s have come from years of experience that I have put on this. Financial information - the subject itself sparks so much within me and I am sure we all can talk so much on this.

Information – there is so much all around but still so little that matters rightly to us. In the last 14 years, I have seen the growth and explosion in information generation – or may be not, because there is so much more happening around which I may not be aware about.

New delivery mediums and technology has been the key driver of this explosion on one side and on the other side we as a consumer have fuelled this growth. A decade ago, consumer were a passive lot of users on supply side, however new mediums like blogging, YouTube, message boards; etc has changed the role of consumers too.

As we progress, hunger of information has grown multifold. Technology leaders like Google and many others are working over time in developing technology that can deliver right information – not at a click of a mouse – but at a blink of your eyes.

As I see it, the information volcano has just erupted. Imagine life after 5-10 years from now. A decade ago it was a problem of “very little” and future is going to be “overloaded”.

Who is to blame for excess information? Are we not generating tons of scrap and one day will come when we will also have to pay for cleaning this garbage like we do at home today?

Is information really in excess, in the first place? OR it is just that it’s not rightly designed / packaged?

What is the amount of time we invest in looking out for the right information and what is the amount of time that we spent of the right information?

When consumers has become such a strong force in the forms of blogging, groups, message boards, etc, my question to you all reader is

a) Are you happy and satisfied with information that you consume on web, sms, and newsletters and so on?
b) What are three things you think most of these communications miss out on?
c) What are the solution you think will help

How will be the world of information, if every content disseminator ensures to provide just the right information? But it leaves so many questions unanswered.

Good bye for now!
