The most recent tweets of the Gillmor Gang (w/o Arrington, who blocked the bot)
The Gillmor Gang was a long-running technology talk show, recorded as a panel conversation. Its river followed the panel between episodes, and the page's headline admitted a gap: one regular had blocked the bot that read the tweets, so he was missing.
With only 10 accounts feeding it, the river filled fast and unevenly. In the capture from May 20, 2009, one member wrote 35 of the 100 tweets and the top three together wrote 78. That is the thing a small group river shows best. It doesn't average voices out. Whoever talks most fills the page.
The idea was close to what a podcast's listeners now get from a group chat or a shared feed: the conversation keeps going after the recording stops.
