As Clay Shirky would point out, the issue here is filter failure. 15 years ago, you might have been able to understand the stuff on the internet - but what about all the newspapers and books written? Or music made?
I doubt it. This problem isn't new. You're always at the knee of the curve as you go up an exponential.
- terpua 18y agoSounds like an opportunity for a bunch of startups.
- ivankirigin 18y agoThere are already a bunch of startups. Facebook and FriendFeed are basically both information filters. So are Tipjoy, Reddit, Digg, SU and HN.
- terpua 18y agoI disagree. The areas of email, movies, books, ecommerce are wide open. Even news filtering could use improvements.
- ivankirigin 18y agoI didn't say there was no opportunity - just a lot of people trying to solve problems in the space.
- brlewis 18y agoThose all let you be selective of what you take in. Filtering what you send out is also useful, but I don't know what sites besides OurDoings help with that.
