Can Twitter Be Saved? | The Big Money

  • the volume of material that Twitter unleashes now puts impossible demands on its users' time and attention. The problem, in a nutshell, is information overload. The more Twitter grows and the more feeds Twitterers follow, the harder it gets to mine it for what is truly useful and engaging.
  • The small number of people clicking on that link seemed to me an early sign that we've reached a point of Twitter saturation, in which the result of more people following more feeds adds up not to more communication but more noise.

Digging Deep « Shalom Rav

  • Isaac, who for so much of Genesis exists largely in the shadow of his father, Abraham, finally comes into his own in this week’s Torah portion. Witness his re-digging of his father’s wells (which Abraham had dug in Genesis 21:25-30). The text makes a point of telling us that Isaac assigns them the same names his father had given them. But when the time comes for Isaac to establish his own wells, the text pointedly tells us that he names them himself.
  • uncovering new depths rather than attaining new heights
