Glenn from Crimson Consulting in California left a great comment on my post in which I compared current levels of data overload to taking a drink from Niagra Falls. I thought his simple observation was very insightful: "We don’t really care about all the things falling over Niagra Falls. Maybe we only care about the tree branches, or the fish, or the rocks, or the people in barrels. If we focus on those things most important to us and track them, we can deal effectively with data overload." After all the modern web is just people talking about things they care about, right?
