Consensus Filters

People ask me how I have so much information to put on Authentic Personality. Well, I just read lots of headlines. Whatever sticks out I grab and comment on. Or maybe an article will inspire me to write something else. I have RSS feeds to different sites that I like to frequent so I can just pop down the list. There is also something that Kevin Kelly calls Consensus Websites that act as filters where the users publish links and others rate them according to their value. This adds a lot of value to the data but also represents a portal into the ‘hive mind’ of the Internet. Here is popurls.com, a site that aggregates many consensus filters into one interface. Your job is to read all the headlines, assimilate information and further classify the information in sub filters (like Authentic Personality). If you are confused as to what I am talking about, you should read Kelley’s “Out of Control” (I haven’t, but you should).
