The leveraging factor is the community

> The limiting factor in the information highway is the human.

Yes, so all the more reason to leverage some network effects here, so that those 743 feeds can get collectively filtered down to something more manageable. Instead of just Scoble reading them, put them on his website and measure which ones people click through the most, then publish a rolling top ten. Why not add in a reputation measure too - when Scoble clicks through his 'vote' gets a higher weight than other visitors. This seems like a very effective way of starting to gather 'attention metrics'.
The point I'm making here is that it's only when you pass each private selection of feeds back out to the Web that you can start to leverage network effects and build applications that help everyone control their information overload.
