As Clay Shirky says we need filters. There is an impotence of abundance, too many choices. It’s one of the reasons we all use Twitter, in hopes of identifying those who we believe are good sources and filters of useful content.

As Faris Yakob so deftly puts it: “Talent imitates, genius steals”

Inspired me to work harder to organize the massive influx of stuff I have coming in.

Kudos to Chris.

Wow, that’s an astounding amount of patience. I’m amazed and grateful. Thanks, Mr. Brogan!

I follow you on Twitter so I get the benefit of whatever you come across, but this page has the benefit of organization over years.

It begs a question though, one that I’ve often wondered about: how many people actually use bookmarks? I often feel that we have a bookmarks feature on our browsers because Netscape did, and that’s that. I’ve never met anybody, certainly not in a post-Google world, who’s used bookmarks so efficiently.

While there are so many bookmark and link sharing sites, there is no one elegant solution for an aggregator of related content. The ultimate curator/moderator is still human. Which feeds back into what you’re saying, that it’s all about the community.

I spent many months being excited about the potentiality of Google Wave without seeing it implemented beyond its first few landmark examples. And I’m not a UX guy or anything, I just think about things from a 50s sci-fi point of view. But within this decade, we’re gonna see one of the first actual semantic web implementations. It’s going to be _awesome_.

And it’s going to universalize the next big problem: how do we find the time to access it all?

Nice post. How many of us saw Chris' Delicious page on case studies and thought, "That's cool." Good on you for paying it forward. .-= Lynnelle´s last blog ..Social media is much more than tweeting, Dave. =-.
