For example, my FriendFeed pages show activity from this blog, the Internet Time Blog, my Flickr account, bookmarks I put on Delicious, and my entries from Twitter.

Now, the torrent of information generated by the ever increasing stream of new developments has rendered this impossible. It pleases me to think of all of the passing information, entertainment, notifications, tweets, blogs, magazines, newspapers, and so on as a never-ending stream. The top section is Flow : aggregators; my favorite read is a river of learning news and I’m toying with Tony Karrer’s eLearning Learning , but often I click the link to FriendFeed or Twitter.
