Jeff and Alwin talk about information overload. 

Jeff: "the problem is that even with the news aggregators we're drinking from a firehose. Organize the information, cross-index it, make it searchable/linkable/available 24/7 and GOOOOOSHHH!"

I think it was "sipping from a firehose" playing on the idea of sipping from a garden hose. Lately it feels like being at the bottom of Niagara Falls. 

A Neal Stephenson story called a descendant of the Internet "The Spew." I sometimes think of it as "The Cacophony" with all those voices muttering and shouting into the river.
