Hello again, All,
In today's digital world, it's becoming increasingly important to direct flows of information. Some use tech tools like RSS feeds (http://www.commoncraft.com/rss_plain_english) do this for themselves. Some actively seek information and direct it to groups of constituents. 
 
Whether you are professional development staff managing information for your region or state, or program staff / volunteers channeling information for your program, what strategies do you use to manage information flow?
 
For example: In speaking with colleagues at ProLiteracy last week, here's what they said:

*	Have someone from your organization subscribed to one or two NIFL discussion lists so that the organization has someone subscribed to each list
*	Join discussion lists that intersect with state initiatives
*	Subscribe for guest discussions then unsubscribe afterwards
*	Use other options to find posts: discussion archives, discussion search engine

What strategies would you add to this list? What strategies could a moderator of an online community use that would help you?
 
I'll bundle any ideas shared and post it back here.
 
Thanks, 
 
jackie
