If you are used to read IT news, in time you start suffering from information overload. You add sources on Facebook, Twitter, RSS reader and the information keeps coming. And then comes a moment when you start thinking that you need to make a clean up. But you have no idea where to start.

Well here a pro tip on how to clean up your sources and be more efficient:

When a source has articles that contain phrases like:

• This is an Apple [InsertProductName] killer
• The new Apple [InsertProductName] is a large disappointment
• Apple stock is doomed
• Sell your Apple stock now
• Apple [InsertProductName]‘s hardware is behind competition
• Android has Flash
• etc

Drop it! Delete without remorse. Not only that you are not loosing anything but in time you will see that you will have a better view on the IT field. There are only 2 situations in which the above statements are possible:

1. Stupidity: The author is an idiot that has no freaking idea what is he talking about. More than that, who pays for those articles is a bigger idiot that most likely employs only idiots

2. Greed: The author and who pays him know that the above statements are not true but they use the momentum for link baiting. A legit business model but not a reliable source of information
