> We are social creatures... Yes, but as any cognitive psychology banks his career on... we are also information-seeking creatures: basing survival strategies on our ability to predict, control, and assess the degree of our control, etc. See also the last decade's research on choice behavior, etc. The whole field of marketing psychology is based on information processing (not necessarily rationally evaluated information, but interpretations of numerous forms of infomration).

I think feeds satisfy the information gathering aspect of our needs quite well. However, I think in large part, these services fail to provide our need to meaningfully share and to build valuable connections based on that sharing.
