It's not how much information you have - it is how you organize and use the information you have.

With social media and a million voices, it is hard to be heard sometimes. How do you separate the wheat from the chaff?

What is important and what is not?

Is it possible to focus on the big picture with so much garbage polluting the minds of the people?

That is a challenge.

It takes a special skillset to monitor, maintain, and develop these online relationships to ensure that they all become a meeting of the minds, one that benefits both parties. You don't really see this very much, except in rare cases.
