I definitely like the first topic. I think the second one is important, but I've never really adopted RSS, as I've consciously avoided information overload on my quasi-personal time... but maybe mine is an interesting case study anyway, as I have always depended on my networks (including in forums, discussion threads -- not just twitter and WOM) to guide me to what's important. Not to mention my own tendency to nose into research about whatever's on my mind (active v. passive?). As far as the facebook design goes -- I barely noticed, as I don't care about facebook anymore :-).
Other topics? Would it make sense to talk about "where's aarf in all this?" That is, aarf as a generic corporation, as well as our own employer.
Location: I'll get back to you. Coming up blank.
P.S. there's a chance I may get pulled into working late. Will keep y'all posted.
