JP Rangaswami highlights and defines seven key principles for effective filtering in this age of excessive information. Two of them are of particular important to the future of information access as they may have a very deep impact on society and on our ability to be in control of how to select and find what is relevant for us. 1. Filters, of whatever kind, should be user-driven and not publisher-driven. 2. Filters should be interchangeable, exchangeable, even tradeable "What we don’t know is how to solve a much bigger problem: what to do when there are filters at publisher level. Once you allow this, the first thing that happens is that an entry point is created for bad actors to impose some form of censorship. In some cases it will be governments, sometimes overtly, sometimes covertly; at other times it will be traditional forces of the media; it may be generals of the army or captains of industry. The nature of the bad actor is irrelevant; what matters is that a back door has been created, one that can be used to suppress reports about a particular event/location/topic/person."

Rangaswami makes his own case for why filters matter:
soon, everything and everyone will be connectedthat includes people, devices, creatures, inanimate objects, even concepts (like a tweet or a theme)at the same time, the cost of sensors and actuators is dropping at least as fast as compute and storageso that means everything and everyone can now publish status and alerts of pretty much anythingthere’s the potential for a whole lotta publishing to happenwhich in turn means it’s firehose timeso we need filterswhich is why the stream/filter/drain approach is becoming more common
Filters are important when drinking from the Internet firehose!

Unlike previous attempts at painting the landscape of content marketing, Scripted's co-founder Sunil Rajaraman identifies 5 types of content marketing solutions as well as 5 types of content that appeal to various customers. One could object that the role of content curation for SEO is overlooked and you can always argue about the accuracy of the content specializations that he attributes to the various players but overall it gives an interesting perspective.

Many scientists and experts fear that humanity is reaching the point of peak water — the point at which freshwater is being consumed faster than it is being replenished or available. In the infographic above we take a look at the amount of water use around the world. Can we cut back before we reach the point of no return? Kylie Schultz researched, wrote and produced this infographic as a participant in the Ensia Mentor Program. Her mentor for the project was Ensia director Todd Reubold.
