You need some human intelligence to point out cool stuff and that intel evolves with each passing year. For me, shared items from friends in Google Reader alongside some Zenark alerts with a cluster of 20 images (whose tags change daily) from Flickr guarantee me a 15-minute read. That's not as fast as scanning a magazine edited by people you trust but it's pretty efficient machine intelligence helped along by some smart crawlers.

I expect the computer to pre-read this stuff, and semantically link stuff to give me a good read. It doesn't need to be attractive - it just needs to flow with my brain pattern. Who said in 5 years…

I expect the computer to pre-read this stuff, and semantically link stuff to give me a good read. It doesn’t need to be attractive - it just needs to flow with my brain pattern.
