This is an interesting point of view. I personally never understood why someone would need to "like" an update. Thus, I've never understood the appeal of things like facebook. All I need is RSS.

When I've tried RSS in the past, I've ended up with a deluge of content to sift through. That may be partially my own fault for subscribing to actively updated sites, but I would've welcomed ways to filter out posts based on the user feedback of peers. That's part of the reason sites like HN are helpful in finding interesting content.

Newsblur offers personalization of your feed content through simple up down feedback. Surprisingly effective.

That being said I prefer the firehose to a crafted cocktail.
