When it comes to information, PETER COLLINGRIDGE, the new vice president of product development at Safari Books Online, is the first to admit that "people are overloaded."Plus, he says, "With information being accessible on mobile devices, people are being even more inundated with information. They don't know how to sort through it all or take it in."Helping users sift through the multitude to find accurate information with Safari Books Online is part of the reason Collingridge recently joined the company. Prior to his appointment, Collingridge held publishing positions at Canongate Books, Apt Studio, and Enhanced Editions.As vice president of product development, Collingridge has "taken on responsibility for the entire Product Development organization at Safari Books Online, including our product management, project management and UX [user-experience] teams," he says.
