The Information Firehose, Lifestreams, and the Curse of Granularity [http://www.ownyouridentity.com/2008/04/18/the-information-firehose-lifestreams-and-the-curse-of-granularity/]

zuerst feeds

Instead of solving my information problems like I had imagined, feeds had simply substituted one problem for another. Whereas before feed readers I was having a hard time finding all the newly updated content, after feed readers I was having a hard time reading it all.

dann lifestreams

Instead of solving my information problems like I had imagined, lifestreams have yet again substituted one problem for another. Whereas before lifestreams I was having a hard time following my friends, after lifestreams I find out that most of what they do isn’t that interesting after all.

dann granularität (friendfeed usw.), aber

The larger problem is that we don’t know what content is valuable before we see it.
