For those who lack clarity in what they're trying to accomplish, I'm sure the new wealth of information (and access to it) makes it very, very difficult.

I begin to wonder how we view our decision making ability in a wide open market like the World Wide Web, does it become a harder task, or is it manageable?

I mean, in the real-world (offline) situation we have much greater control over our choices, but times that by 1000X in the virtual (online) world and you have a much bigger task to manage!

And, another point you make about “attention; You have to tend your garden. If the environment is drying up, you need to give water.”, makes me realize just how important it is to not get distracted by looking for new opportunities when we have to be sure we tend to our own flock (community) first before anything else, otherwise a vast disconnect occurs!

Great points Tamsen, thanks :)
