Gobo's a very interesting experiment in social media and news aggregation. I think the premise for the service is very insightful -- we're inundated with information and we want to filter it. FB, Twitter etc. give us very few tools to do that -- why? Because we're the product, not the customer. They want to customize us. They don't want us customizing them. They want to make our attention as saleable to advertisers as possible. So Gobo turns that on its head and gives you the power to filter as you like. I think the filters Gobo has chosen to implement, such as "only show me posts from a certain gender or race," are stupid beyond belief and I hope they never become popular. This post nails the problem statement though.
