if you like digg, you really should try www.popurls.com. if digg is a metafilter for information, popurls is a meta-metafilter. it takes the contents from digg, reddit, slashdot, google news, furl, and a great many more, and puts them all on one page. i am not affiliated with this page in any way, i just find it to be a superior way of skimming the interesting topics that bloom and wither every hour on the interwebs. i would also be interested if anyone had an even better site that would allow me to focus my attention in an even more efficient way.
I Liked this article because it put a value on attention, it made it a commodity. When you do that you start to look at it in a different way. Unlike time which is a constant measurement, Attention can be manipulated.
Wah wah. Another example of someone watching a phenomenon then trying to analyse it by slapping a new vocabulary onto it, for which they look to become the guru (pronounced "geroo" here). Management consultants make good livings peddling rubbish like this.The giveaways words are claptrap like:"attention economy" (what?)"new web" (did we throw away the old one?)"new news" (what what?)"implicit attention" (like pretending to pay attention?)"explicit attention" (explicit? porn?)"information silos" (aren't they used for storing s**t as well?)"industry roundtable" (meaning a committee?)

The graph is wrong. The "doubling" bars don't all line up to a value that is twice is high as the value where the bar began. Plus, who cares?

Buried because the first diagram used the term 'Blogosphere'.

Half of the people who read your comment won't understand what you mean, and that pleases me.
