I see value in this, however, I only subscribed to one (NYC Opera: Pressroom), and the amount of info that arrived in a few seconds was already overwhelming. Our society has an overload of tidbits of information. One person can't possibly have the time to sift through all of it. It encourages people to spend every waking moment on their computer without interacting or taking part in real life. We sit and follow events rather than living our own events and enjoying life. To me it's a frightening comment on the direction in which we are headed - no interpersonal interaction or communing with nature - just me and my computer... altho - some days that may not be such a bad thing! :-)
