Hey Will, No probs! Thanks for the feedback. There's lots to look at then. Where to start eh? I also want to look more at how content can 'degrade'; not necessarily being slowly deleted, but being given less and less emphasis (maybe fewer details would be shown re the content; less prevalence etc) through factors including, but not limited to time (it's an easy one to start with, as most UIs have made strong use of it), but also buoyancy. Here, for content generated by for those deemed closer to you, information would degrade slower and 'float', and content from those 'further away from you' would degrade with greater speed, or begin to sink. The user would give relevance by 'hooking' certain groups / people / conversations of interest. This doesn't necessarily resolve issues of search, but but being able to hook relevant content in a digg-esque style, we might be able to tacke the issue of time super- ceding and overshadowing the more intelligent, sensical ways of creating relevance that are surely out there...
