Filter Failure

What if your entire social life came to you? Friends, family, work email, personal email, messages, updates, and feeds… everything, constantly updated and streamed together in one place, so you can keep track of whatever you want and focus on what matters most.

Disclaimer: NPH does not come included with the Motorola CLIQ with MOTOBLUR.

I hate you, Motorola, and your caps.

Talk about overpromising and underdelivering. Well, then again, I don’t know, maybe this is the god-device everyone needs. iHear the Droid is supposed to do things the iPhone doesn’t, or something. Eh.

We, the Internet users, have only begun to generate data. Currently, I feel like the filters don’t exist in the present to deal with that mountain of already existing data. When I sat down and thought about StatusFix (a possible solution to this mess) three years ago, I built it for me, someone who continues to this day drink straight from the data firehose.

But with this commercial, I realized that the day has come when any person with an Internet-enabled phone (WAP? What?) is going to have this issue of Filter Failure.

Clay Shirky has talked on Filter Failure before about a year ago, just in case you missed it.

I sure hope someone’s working on it.

  1. Oh. WAP. I remember racking up quite the data bill in middle school when I got hooked on Planetarion.com and used WAP to manage my fleets.

  2. Was it you that told me about Planetarion? Man, I thought that game was such a neat idea…
