Hello world. Actually did some hacking on FeedMagick2 this weekend - imagine that!

Someone asks if Scoble reads all tweets from the 6000 or so he follows, to which the answer is of course "no". But, this seems like a common question posed to people who habitually drink from the firehose - be it 100's to 1000's of feed subscriptions or enormous social networks.

Is it really that weird a skill to just sort of skim or scan or shove streams to the periphery, there to apply fractional or even subconscious attention? People have powerful pattern detectors, and they can be trained to squint and fuzzily feel out information streams. Maybe it is really weird and nerdy, but I totally dig it.
