Could this be the beginning of data feeds for AI? Taking feeds from all social networks and consolidating them into a common protocol?
No doubt Google is already indexing most of the information that Gnip will be transmitting, but we can't help but think that Gnip will be in a uniquely powerful position to do some mining of anonymized user data and social graphs. That could…

Unlike mainstream media where there is either one or very few editors setting guidelines, the collaboratively filtered social web can have infinitely many editors and gets…
In the social news space, Digg and Propeller just use the system insofar as the front page is concerned (although Digg is set to release their recommendation engine this week). Once the content is promoted to the front page, the…
Facebook has been in the news a lot lately for what it won't let users do…maybe it's time they start building more and more things that it will let users do. Sarah Perez has taken the time to offer a few things that could help the company continue to innovate.
