Can a weblog actually help someone with A.D.D./A.D.H.D.?

An Article About Whether RSS Can Relieve Information Overload. Says J, "Ron Miller thinks RSS helps people with information overload in two main ways. It's more efficient because content comes to the person instead of someone going out looking for it. Aggregators usually have some kind of mechanism by which someone can organize feeds to make managing them easier.

"What he doesn't discuss is how people like me who weren't reading feeds before are suddenly subscribed to more sources and have more information coming to them to manage. Is RSS really helping us or just giving us more sources and more things to add to the overload? If I was replacing a print or Web source with a feed equivalent, I could definitely see how RSS helps with information overload in that sense. But I'm not doing that." [j's scratchpad]
