  It's good to know that someone knows the future for sure.

  Who has a serious problem with being overloaded with Twitter traffic, Facebook invites and FriendFeed events? TC "journalists", other Valley denizens, and basically the existing Web 2.0 in-crowd. Is this a problem that real, ordinary people actually face when they try to use the Internet? I'm not convinced. However, the broader point -- as the web matures, there will be a continual increase in the number of information sources, and therefore a need better tools to separate the signal from the noise -- is not novel; people have been remarking on this for years. Sometimes I think a reasonable heuristic to reduce noise is to dismiss out of hand anything that begins with "Web 3.0 will be about ...".

    My extended family has an email list. The articles and other links that people forward are already too much to keep up with, mixed in with personal life updates. I think the problem described in this article is not technology-specific, although twitter certainly amplifies it.
