We had the newspaper but that's basically what you should have read yesterday and is not personal enough. We need a new kind of newspaper that's real-time, knows my friends, contacts, and interests, and strikes the right balance between stuff you should know because everyone else is reading it and stuff you should know because it's interesting and no one else is reading it. Lifestreams will drive it as raw material but picking the good stuff out of there and pushing it to you is the challenge. Let me know when you've got something.

This is a great conversation. I love the use of the term signal/noise ratio that you employed. I think there is a clear way to follow the signal/noise ratio on the web as a means of determining the next big pain points. Example: Web 1.0 the number of web pages increased exponentially. At a certain threshold, the pain of finding the right content opened the door for the search competition. This competition ultimately yielded Goliath , I mean Google. The same dynamic is happening on the Social Web. Let's see what happens next. ;) I agree. This is a great conversation. I love the use of the term signal/noise ratio that you employed.
