Law of Content Conservation
Tech Crunch highlights A comment in a Fred Wilson post (ostensibly about RSS and Longhorn)
“RSS is starting to feel like television. I sit in front of the tv with a remote and click through 100 channels and then say “nothing is on.”
Heh. Reminds me of the "law of content conservation" I made up back in my interactive TV days.
∑ Ci = K
K is a constant. Content per channel over channels 1 to N is Ci.
K is a constant. Content per channel over channels 1 to N is Ci.
So the law of content conservation is: No matter how many channels you have, total content is the same, and average content is:
1/N
At least it always feels that way.
