: I would venture to say that what is noise to one may in fact be signal to another: personally, I get tired of slogging through all the tech feeds to find the 5% that are useful for work and perhaps 5% that interest me personally. But then again, that's what I've got Yahoo pipes for: to help me filter the noise before it ever gets to me. Don't see why one couldn't go the same route to filter, say, an unwanted Twitter follower.

@isthisstupid Merge them and filter them when you do! I like the notion of a signal to noise ratio, and I also remember not to pigeon hole. Some fool might be mostly noisy (mostly cloudy?), but as the good Bard has helped us to know: often the fool says the most profound thing.

It's possible that the one signal from a noisy "friend" might surpass the many signals from a guru.

Keep having fun!

Jasongoldberg,
Jul 31, 2008
: socialmedian is a user-driven website both in the manner in
which it has been developed as well as in the functioning of the
site.

The company released its first code to an early set of alpha
users in March 2008. Users can submit feature requests directly
on the website. More than 350 user-submitted features have
been built and launched on the site during the alpha period.

Jasongoldberg,
Jul 30, 2008
: Hey Rafe -- read your article just now.

Of course, we too hope that socialmedian does not fall into the category of products you discussed.

Here are a few reasons we think not.

1. We have built socialmedian over the course of 2008 with the direct help and input of thousands of people from around the world who have participated in our alpha. It's not a product looking for an audience rather an audience-built product.

2. We have chosen not to demo at Demo (asked but we turned down because there is no point in us paying $18K to demo socialmedian at this point), nor at TC50 (discussed with Mike but we both agree that socialmedian with 4300 alpha users is further along than stealth startup). We are working with TC on a different sort of presence by socialmedian at TC50. Stay tuned.

3. We're solving a real problem here at socialmedian: The noise factor. All these web 2.0 apps have turned the volume way up. We're helping people filter down the noise to personal interests. Which we think may be a web 3.0 beginning.

We'll see.
