The Art of Money Getting or, Golden Rules for Making Money was originally published in 1880 by P. T. Barnum.
Part 14 Read The Newspapers
Always take a trustworthy newspaper, and thus keep thoroughly posted in regard to the transactions of the world. He who is without a newspaper is cut off from his species. In these days of telegraphs and steam, many important inventions and improvements in every branch of trade, are being made, and he who don’t consult the newspapers will soon find himself and his business left out in the cold.

I guess today’s version of the newspaper would be the social media.
If you’re not clued in to what’s happening around the web, you can get left behind very quickly.
It’s important to stay up to date on what’s being said on blogs, social sites like Twitter as well as what people are reading/bookmarking through sites like Digg, StumbleUpon and Delicious.
