I remember building the first gaming dashboard at facebook. The assumption is that things are better with friends (true) and that your friends can be a good filter for content (largely false). People are different, even your friends. I think Prismatic is really on to something here, a lot like the promise of hunch. A service that understands me (whiskey, zombies, startups, catan, nukes, ...) will eventually do a lot better than a friend ranked filter.
Exactly. I would much rather see the things I like and be notified when I'm digging the same things as my friends or possibly even friends of friends.
There is no better indicator of "Likes" than actual consumption. Consumption is a vote with dollars and time and carries a lot more meaning than clicking on a stupid little blue button.
