@freakazoid true, but subscription-based online media create the opposite problems; echo chambers, heated agreement, and so on.
@freakazoid In theory, I like the way both G+ and #Diaspora allow posts to be directed only to 'circles'/ 'aspects' containing contacts most likely to be interested. But this also creates data silos, for example if a contact only knows me as 'that #SoftwareFreedom dude', I might miss all their posts on #SciFi or #comedy, which I'm also keen to hear about. More importantly, I miss the stuff I didn't know I cared about until I read it
