Priorities not categories
Re-tune filters
Manually constructAutomateContinuously re-tuneAre temporary
Re-think social structure & expectationsWe create, rethink, and re-tuned filters. Now we are in the flow.
How do we navigate the flow?
Re-tune filters
Updating the old filters is not the fix.
We create, rethink, and re-tuned the filters.
Topics for discussions
–How is email broken? –What are the solutions? –Other methods of sharing,
wikis, blogs, Twitter, FriendFeed, IM? –Still not working? More
solutions coming.
