Yep, the biggest concern of people where I live is that “they will get email”. They might pop in to visit online as long as they don’t “get email”. Few have heard of rules or blocks.

As for investment opportunities, uncluttered places where you can get done what you want done without all the rubbish we get on screens and on emails from old school?

Nic, it's interesting that you stopped at this quote – I did as well, and thought about it for a long time. Worth the price of the entire book. I agree this will be an interesting segment to watch.

The trick for entrepreneurs is obviously to ensure the content offered is “more worthy” of a consumer's attention than the competition – or that the “tools” profferred (Google News is what RSS Readers evolved into) are tweaked to best correspond to the user's tastes and preferences.

No different that a walk around an old-time amusement park, really. Some rides are simply more interesting that others. And therefore sell more tickets.

it's valid need, but the web vendor community always tries to over-finesse it in an attempt to reach scale. information filters are moderate sized media plays, not huge tech plays. most startups attempt rocket science to try and satisfy everyone where techmeme and hackernews are the kind of things that repeatedly work.
