I remember going through a phase of being addicted to reading the news through Google, now I barely check it, I'm going through blogs and twitter (the worst expression of the model you're talking about would be people who just read twitter's trending topics and then, worse, write about them:) - but I don't do that). As much as there are many surface changes, there are deeper layers that don't change as quickly, and in many domains, the deeper layers are where the real issues live anyway, so it can make sense to hang out there for a while - depends on how fast you need to go!
