infomaxing

The art of maximizing your information flow by letting your curiosity lead the way. It is a method that combines different elements from "Just-In-Time (JIT) Learning", "Mind Mapping", "Self-Directed Learning (SDL)", and "The Feynman Technique". This technique is a self-directed learning strategy driven by intrinsic motivation and associative reasoning. The learner follows their curiosity through a nonlinear path of inquiry, investigating related topics and foundational concepts in the moment they are encountered. Not to confuse with "infomax" a concept in machine learning.

infobating

Obsessively reading news feeds and blog updates just for the sake of knowing the latest information, most of which is generally useless.

I have to take a break from the internet for a while, at this point I'm just infobating.

infomaiming 

The Precision, partial alteration of facts to achieve a desired euphemistic or dysphemistic perspective on a subject.

That news station only offers one-sided opinions, they are masters of infomaiming all their stories.

Infomining 

The process through which a Sociopath (person suffering Anti-social Personality Disorder ) or a malignant Narcissist (Narcissistic Personality Disorder ) gets to know your weaknesses and insecurities in order to fill their database and construct a mental image of who you "truly" are.
This information will be used at a later time, generally to subtly abuse you and drive you insane , but also to obtain as much as possible from you (financially or otherwise ).
This process can be described as "dropping hints" to make you speak about yourself , pretending to reveal a secret to make you reveal yours, invent a hard childhood to see what traumas you have , etc.

Sociopath :"It's hard for me to talk about it, but my mother used to hit me"
Other person -"really ? I shouldn't be surprised , though , childhood is no bed of roses, my uncle used to do things to me...."
Sociopath : "score!! I had great success infomining this idiot!! "
