I just crafted a long essay on feeds and youth culture over at apophenia. I’m interested in how youth are consuming feeds very differently than adults and how the differences seem to be connected to the IM/email division. Feed madness rang through the halls of Web2.0 and i wanted to reflect on how different consumption cultures are going to take this up and what the implications are for design. I don’t have any answers, but this is my first pass at thinking through this issue.

I chose not to re-post it here since it’s long and i would like to keep the comments connected. That said, if you’re interested in feeds as an emerging trend, please take a look at this entry and challenge me on what i’m missing.
