Social filtering protip: you can trust people to tell you what's relevant, but not what's important. Importance is negotiated, not guessed.
@vgr I am not getting something. Are you saying that in contrast relevancy does not require a shared narrative?

@sebinsua Something is relevant if it has *potential* importance based on pure empirics. Google can judge relevance w/o shared narrative. -
@vgr Something is relevant because it has the potential to be relevant? But it is important because it *is* important? - 3 more replies

@vgr I'd say I trust in a social filters concept of relevancy more so than I agree with their ordering of importance because it is coarser. -
@sebinsua Yup. Like search, social filter creates a subset of relevant info where the chances of fnding importance is higher.
