    Happy Friday, everyone!

    The topic of this week's poll question was suggested by Rod; he mentioned that many of you likely subscribe to a variety of magazines, newspapers, and trade publications (not to mention email newsletters and blogs), as he does. He frequently ends up running out of time for everything coming into his mail box and inbox, and consequently, a lot of material goes unread.

    So we would like to know:

    What do you DO with all the information to which you've subscribed?  What percentage gets read, what percentage gets tossed? How do you prioritize what to read and what to let go?

    Looking forward to reading your replies!

    The Radio Sales Cafe email received weekly is a good example. The information is concise, easy to read, otherwise I would discard and unsubscribe. (That's it keep it simple and make it count.) There is no desire to read every single line ever or seldom ever. Besides I read what I want. With the internet why subscribe? Just get it when you want it. This is where the subject of bookmarks and bookmark orginization comes in. May be a discussion for another day?

    Hello Roy,

    Good tip about using bookmarks rather than subscribing - and thank you for your kind words about the RSC newsletter!

    Thanks for sharing!
