think stream

the rise of social distribution networks is a good (long) piece (ht nic). i liked the concept of streams:

A stream. A real time, flowing, dynamic stream of information — that
we as users and participants can dip in and out of and whether we
participate in them or simply observe we are are a part of this
flow…

…This world of flow, of streams, contains a very different possibility
set to the world of pages.   Among other things it changes how
we perceive needs.  Overload isnt a problem anymore since we have no
choice but to acknowledge that we cant wade through all this
information.   This isnt an inbox we have to empty,  or a page we have
to get to the bottom of — its a flow of data that we can dip into at
will but we cant attempt to gain an all encompassing view of it.
