You are sitting in front of your computer and your check your RSS reader. What greets you are over a thousand posts or so from feeds that you subscribe to. You glance up and down. They seem to be as numerous as the stars in heaven. A sigh escapes your mouth as you plow through them. You feel like a certain Greek King cursed by the Gods to roll a boulder up the hill only to discover it disappear and reappear at the slope of the hill. And this he has to do for an eternity. My friend you suffer from RSS Reader Sisyphus Complex. And this is according to the Online Journalism Blog.
