Feed-based enterprise products can be a nightmare for users to follow. There must be structured filtering, categorizing, subsets etc to make sure you can find needed information quickly, not miss important stuff and not having to read through absolutely everything in the newsfeed. For many types of information, using the newsfeed paradigm would be absolutely incorrect.

Agreed any feed based system, even with filters adhears to one fixed albeit customised set of filters. When you can have a different filter set that takes into account what is important to you right there and now, which changes. Then it will be more managable, but that is still away of as predicting the weather 100% right all the time. Compters are good after all at learning from there mistakes once said mistakes have been highlighted to them, it is when they learn human mistakes which the human is unaware of that starts to become an area of conflict. But if feed based products were the way to go then USENET would of been growing in popularity above and beyond the binary feeds. We after all as humans are still pefecting ourselfs and with that we are shy of any software that dictates direction for us. For most a forum were the input feeds are moderated and sanatised by others prior to you getting it is the common form, be it via crowd sourced forums like this or teirs of managment filtering what is interesting. Though the ability to overide those filters is just as important than having them and any other way is dictating and controlling the information in a way that makes most uncomfortable in the expectation that they are missing something which to them is important. Just as if this forum had no search option and the ability to view only the deemed top news items, well you know how that would work out badly, even if most don't use search or the new options much.
