When building YourSports (launching later this month), we designed around this problem by bundling the best articles, videos (through a really unique YouTube relationship), and user-generated content about any athlete or team in sports history–and distributing that to the entity’s followers. So as a user I can follow the Yankees or even Michael Jordan, then get the best content created today (and across history) distributed in my feed through Top News. I have an All News feed too, which is basically a firehose of everything. In the future, All News canautomatically get promoted to Top News (=Promoted News algo). So as a regular user from Hoboken, I can create content about the Yankees and get broadcast distro to their 0000’s of Followers on YS… This is an evolution of RSS, basically. It’s really cool. Hope our users enjoy. Has taken a lot of work (and data!) to design, build, ship.

In reply to awaldstein. Standard in theory, perhaps, but far from common in practice.Really great way of breaking it down.

In reply to Charlie Crystle. What are people buying when they buy your bread?Sure delicious. Certainly healthy. Absolutely local. W/o a doubt a true sense of the community of the place.Who cares about this? Not only those in front of the aisle in the store? How do you include an extended community of good will around the intermesh of those characteristics.And for all of them, what channels do you work with to craft that story and let people make it their own?Standard stuff.

In reply to JTio. ++ to Jason and Kristen "hides most useful feature". I find it quite difficult to consume content on twitter or tweet deck (I use it to monitor my lists). So I have to use Flipboard to read my lists from twitter. Alas, Flipboard only works with iPhone and iPad not for desktop.But to me, Twitter has quite a bit of unrealised potential. It has the right mix of curated and serendipitous discovery of information. Just that consuming information is hell lot more difficult.
