If people are born and bred with the Twitter's, Facebook's and Digg's in their back pocket maybe the ocean of social madness will seem like ordinary web interaction. Mah's proposed solution is one that has been talked about extensively by technologists and bloggers. Adding social context to the various actions we participate in on the web may make our experience far more enjoyable. One thing she didn't mention in search is the Semantic Web, which would certainly help reduce exposure to clutter. http://collegemogul.com Today we may view and inundation of emails, friend requests, updates, networks and applications as overwhelming but who is to say that tomorrow’s generation will feel the same way?

The creation of hierarchy is an necessity, because information is just a next level of data and just is input itself for the level above: a viewpoint. Structured viewpoints are just input for the construction of a vision. Visions are just ways of looking to data. It's a buttom up / top down organisation as any thing else. Finding the people that have developped a vision is essential, not all people develop their own independent vision, but everyone adopts a basic vision based on the influences their undergoing. Top level influencers are key to recognizing good information. They come and to go, they're replaced but as a group they'll always exist. Credentials are becoming more and more important.
