Totally agree with “the too much information”, but I love the “imaginary friends” feature which let you create feeds from people that are not on friendfeed or even better to create feeds channels: for exemple a imaginary friend which will grab all google reader shared items from your friends.
It’s a nice way to filter information…

You’re so right. I had already written about this when I mentioned my lifestream in my blog. Not all feeds have the same pace. I ended up creating a daily digest for some feeds. You don’t need to have 1 RSS item for every last.fm tracks your friends hear, or links in ma.gnolia. Just bundle them up into daily digests.

That was one of the hanging features that kept me from declaring the script “done”. It’s a major feature that should be in these services from day 1.

I’ve been trying both SocialThing! and Iminta. Iminta seems a lot more extensible and easier to use… but it’s too soon to hand out 1st prizes, I guess.

“A term extraction algorithm + search could become a pretty good tool to know what the people I care about have been saying about”

I’ve started experimenting with something along those lines, although it potentially increases the amount of stuff to read!

The idea is to pass your twitter feed through a term extraction service, and then use those terms as the basis for a search over several servicues (currently Yahoo, youtube, slideshare and oercommons).

Re: filtering – another take is to have an opml of friends feeds and then run each of these feeds through a filter:

Ack. It is data overflow, not even information overflow. There is so much already done in this space that I am tired of people being happy about yet another thing reinventing the wheel.

(i suck at math too, but I barely managed this time)
