http://www.weigend.com - The cost of creating, sharing and distributing data in real time has become essentially zero, leading to an explosion of user generated content. Currently, every minute,

- 500,000 pieces of content are shared on Facebook,
- 70,000 bit.ly links are clicked,
- 25,000 messages are created on Twitter,
- 1,000 blog posts go live, and
- 20 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube.

Over the last decades, the amount of data created by individuals has doubled every 1.5 to 2 years. Technologies like pubsubhubbub and xmpp are making it easier to push that firehose of data out to users, with only a millisecond of latency from thought and distribution. But how do we effectively use that data to make decisions that drive value for consumers and businesses? How much is too much to handle? And what's the opportunity for the entrepreneur?
