As a publisher this is the reason I have put quite a bit more effort into my email newsletter rather than Twitter or Facebook. Twitter is much more about real-time updates and conversation, so it makes sense that it isn't the best medium for letting people know what was recently published. Facebook though seems like a good medium, but apparently the people that like my page don't interact with the content so they don't get to see it in their feeds. Email newsletters are great because people can easily subscribe/unsubscribe at their leisure and I know who is reading them whereas it is pretty much a mystery on other services. From a readers perspective, your comments are exactly why I love instagram so much. I can easily follow/unfollow people and my newsfeed is only filled with posts from people I followed plus the occasional ad. And if I want related material, I can go to the browse page which has posts that are popular in my network. EDIT: I'd love a service that was like a combination of instagram + RSS reader where I could subscribe to both blogs and people and can easily follow/unfollow, and have it not be so fast moving but still see all of the updates that are posted.
