Last week I wondered if clickstreams would be the next step in blogging, given the newfound popularity of twitter and the emergence of companies like Me.dium and Cluztr.
Turns out that Cluztr has a feature to turn your clickstream into twitter posts, and turns out that this combination is quite annoying. My friend David Henderson turned on this feature without realizing what it would do, and this morning my phone was overrun with SMS messages of his surfing. Here’s what it looked like:
It’s clear you don’t want to get an SMS whenever a friend views a web page. So the question becomes, what is the right way to filter this information? The native presentation modes of me.dium, atten.tv, and cluztr are certainly better than SMS. But it still hasn’t totally clicked with me; we need a way to distill and filter this information. This is a nut that is yet to be creacked!
