Info Glut

InfoGlut is basically unprocessed, badly processed, or irrelevant information. When people have to deal with InfoGlut, they cannot absorb it, feel that it is incoherent or are overwhelmed by a whole bunch of superfluous detail. Think of it as a metaphor for unnecessary fat (glut) but for information.

InfoGlut is NOT InformationOverload. Even if the information is well processed and presented (Ha!), people can be overwhelmed by a large amount of information to absorb. People usually find it easier to absorb large amounts of well presented and processed information versus a large amount of equivalent InfoGlut.
