2.They should make your life easier3.They are customizable, but not
personalizable4.They also organize your information

Determing Interestingness, Popularity or Hotness
Nope.Single gross measure.
Causation?
Nope.Single gross measure.
Correlation?
Yep.Multivariate.
Variable weighting is the secret sauce.

Real-time versus hot
1.Users are going to complain either way. 2.Twitter made its decision
‣They have left the door open, slightly for others that want to pursue popularity‣Klout ain’t it
3.Blending the two remains unexplored

The state of content today.
1.Most producers are narrowly focused on their own content and narrowly approach their traditional business problem of reach and frequency
2.Those that aren’t don’t think broadly enough about other’s content
3.No one has solved the “real-time versus popular” conflict
4.Almost everyone lacks specificity, or granularity.

The content OS business opportunity
1.Taking a broad view of organizing content for users solves a customer problem of relevance.
2.The interest graph has one-to-two success stories. There is room for plenty more.
3.The link economy and the social economy are well-established, but unexploited for delivering customer value.
4.Solve the OS problem for content.
