The kind of throttling you're talking about here is something these "statusphere" products need to get better at. I don't necessarily want to unfollow someone, or unfriend them, or whatever the local idiom is. I just want to see less, and preferably just the best stuff. I need something like those huge mixer boards with a slider for each source, which I can tune to adjust the overall info mix.
