internet - Is more information also better?

In addition to my previous entry, some more of the problems I see emerge in getting my personal information organized. Because of heavy travelling and offline activities I have been unable to monitor the internet as good as I wanted to. But I noted that over the past few months some of the regulars on my RSS-list have dramatically increased their output, with negative side effects.
I preferred topix over the news aggregator of Google for my China-headlines because they did not offer me the deluge Google was offering. The same happened to Danwei and Global Voices. Both I used to read mostly from head to tail, but since their output has increased I only scan them superficially. Other weblogs I have deleted from my RSS-roll, since I was not able and willing to follow them.
While I appreciate the effort of offering more and better information, the flipside is that they do no work for me as they did. More information is not always better and it would be an interesting question for many of the active internet junks how they deal with the flood of information. I tend to skip subjects, continents (yes, including Africa) and discussions, because I cannot deal with them. 'Leading' aggregators where I can outsource my personal needs for information do not exist yet, and perhaps are too much contrary to the character of the internet. I'm learning to swim, but it certainly is not easy.
