Extending Chris Brogan’s point of Streams and Stopping Points
“Twitter is a stream. Facebook is both a stream and a stopping point (but mostly a stream). Your blog is a stopping point pretending to be a stream.”
Chris Brogan, Of Streams and Stopping Points
Flickr is a stopping point. Tumblr is a stream (Tumblr has become a visual publishing / bookmarking site of some sort (1) ).
Forums are stopping points. “Latest posts” on forum headers are streams.
A news article is a stopping point. Twitter-powered news are streams. Mixx front page is a stream of stopping points.
A Facebook album is a stopping point. Facebook Live Feed is a stream.
A Google search result is a collection of introductions to stopping points. Amazon’s recommendation is a stream.
Future?

Streams of publications
Streams of news information
Streams of connections’ activities
Streams of sales
