Filtering the Inflow - Information Trapping: Real-Time Research on the Web - page 234

Moving On. . .
Obviously, inding and setting up the information streams you need is the
irst part of information trapping. But the second part, which we've gotten
into with this chapter, is management. How do you organize what you ind?
How do you make sure it gets your attention? When do you delete it (or
should you ever delete it)?
Your e-mail box will be an important part of managing the information as it
lows to you. hough Gmail is a free service, it ofers a variety of ilters, features,
and add-ons that will help you track, and keep, the information you want.
But when you use a Web-based or client-based e-mail service, you're sitting in
front of a computer. What do you do when you're on the road, with no laptop,
no WiFi, nothing but your phone? If you want to learn how you can be an
information trapper on the go, see the bonus chapter beginning on page A1.
