it would be extremely difficult to sift through, by yourself, the collective output of 300 of your facebook friends. Imagine having to sift through all of the status updates, the pictures, the check ins, the timeline contents, the photo tags, etc etc.
- neumann_alfred 14y agoThat's what filters are for. For that of course users would need first meaningful (!) tools to curate their own content; instead of just throwing everything onto their profile in chronological order. Maybe some helpful default suggestions that can be renamed and deleted at will, like "status updates", "photos", "big events" or whatever. Even just that without any "subcategories" or "tags" would be enough for a lot of cases, and where it's not, you can put more effort into it. Then it would still up to you as a "subscriber" to decide what of the things you're allowed to see you do want to see on a regular basis; it would generally be up to the user how lazy they want to be, and how much lazyness they want to tolerate in their inbox. Don't tell me it's hard before it was even tried?
- Gormo 14y agoI visit plenty of sites that have an organized library of content, using one CMS or another, and also have a "latest updates" RSS feed. Even a generic WordPress blog is better than Facebook in this regard, since posts tagged and sorted by tag.
