Re: Can Smart Filtering Save Us And Google Buzz?

I like the idea of a “Rebuzz” button. There's a lot of talk about intelligent filtering, not sure how I feel about that, I don't want to miss posts just because google's magical algorithm thought i wouldn't be interesting in that one. I think they need the ability to hide certain user's sources, much like how friendfeed did this. I touched on this in my post when Buzz first came out. Where I could see smart filting coming in handy is if Google's algorithm could figure out what i would be interested in more than others, and pulled those to the top. Another way to kind of filtering is through lists - I'm betting we'll see both these features soon. Until then, like you said, there's so much noise right now, it's basically un-usable.
