Like so many technologies of the early web that we’ve now nearly lost or forgotten, it’s flaws are real.
Like RSS and Podcasting, it takes a long time to curate and gather the blogs, shows, and music you want to enjoy and there’s a lot of dependence on informal recommendation networks like those from friends or word-of-mouth via the messy world of meatspace (remember that term?).
It’s a very human, not algorithmic world, and I love it.
