I tried the firehose version in Twitter, and found it's too much. I want something between the slow version and the firehose version. I also subscribed to the FH feed in my aggregator, haven't formed an opinion about that yet. :-) Hi Duncan. I tried the firehose version in Twitter, and found it’s too much.

I doubt that I can survive one day with this. Being a news junkie has its limits after all :) I added the twitter account and also I decided to go crazy and activate SMS notifications, which would translate to over 100 messages per day….

This in turn may spell trouble for all users, if the service doesn't have money to innovate any further. It is a constant problem for developer, especially in AJAX driven pages, the tradeoff between usability and revenue. I wonder if anyone has a clever solution to that already.
