Comment on Slaves of the feed – This is not the realtime we’ve been looking for

Good way to think about it.
A couple months ago I asked if there was something that would update me with *only* information I wanted, based on tag words or something.
I found that Google actually does this — you can type in a tag word you want to know about and choose to have news sources / blog reports / etc. about those tags emailed to you daily / weekly / etc.
But even so, the problem you mention comes up: I have to sift through those emails and see if anything of interest is in there. Perhaps if Google could be programmed to know that I would like to know about a Buckminster Fuller exhibition in my area, but not about a blog post containing some brief mention of him. Seems like this could be done, but might be complicated. I don't know.
