Information trapping is a tool similar to RSS. Information trapping can be a useful when researching a topic to filter out irrelevant topics. An artical gave an example on how it would be useful. If you went to a search engine site and typed in elections you would get a bunch of info. on the democratic and republican parties. If you wanted information on a third party you wouldn’t find much luck. Information trapping can save you a bunch of time and have the topics you want filtered.
