Eli Pariser: Beware online “filter bubbles”
As web companies strive to tailor their services (including news and search results) to our personal tastes, there’s a dangerous unintended consequence: We get trapped in a “filter bubble” and don’t get exposed to information that could challenge or broaden our worldview. Eli Pariser argues powerfully that this will ultimately prove to be bad for us and bad for democracy.
I remember filter on status feeds being a big topic on the Web and Beyond conference a couple of years back. Since then we’ve been adding more and more data to these feeds, the need for good filters will increase. Simply showing popular stuff or stuff I liked before won’t cut it.
An other one.. Take a look at Facebook for example. It’s nice to have an option to follow your favorite brands, but do you really need to see that crap when you want to know whats up with your friends?
