This piece was written by Jean-Paul De Clerck for Selligent. I selected it because it reconfirms what we already know as consumers of content and as content marketers trying to reach their audiences.
Magnify's "Digital Lifestyle" research shows that it's becoming more difficult for so-called professional web users to:
**cope with the stream of communication and
**to distinguish essential information from less important information.
A massive tidal wave in figures
**64% of the participants said that the information they receive had increased over 50% in comparison to the previous year
**Nearly 73% of the respondents described the information overload with superlative terms souch as a "roaring river" or a massive tital wave
It is simply becoming more difficult for people to filter information. And it's very important to realize that this is not caused by technology only, and that it will not be solved by technology.
**In their interactions with consumers and customers, companies have a responsibility to make it as easy and valuable as possible for people.
Here are some takeaways:
**Simplify your cross-channel messaging: improve and personalize your communication
**Marketers must ensure that their messages are targeted and synchronized.
**They should avoid overlapping communication and marketing fatigue. Read white paper
**They should also let people choose their own communication channels more.
**Provide alternatives, because people will increasingly search for them in their quest for coping with information.

Jan Gordon:
It has been a long time coming I have always been passionate about new media and technology and how it impacts our everyday lives. My purpose was to help others stay current and informed. My vision was Curatti, a place where you could go to find the best information, tools and resources all in one place. Lots more to come in the coming months.
I created Curatti because as we all know, there is just too much content, too many changes everytime we turn around, not enough insights and most of all business people need to understand what information pertains to their needs and how they can utilize it to build sustainable businesses now and in the future.
Curatti is committed to giving you only the best information and content from bloggers and curators that are doing outstanding things to shape the future of business.
We hope you will visit Curatti, we welcome suggestions on future posts, that address the concerns and challenges you're having in your business today. Now my journey can become our journey as we navigate the digital world together.
