Consciousness work by filtering information. The problem with the real-time-web is that it demands too much cognitive attention compared to what it was supposed to give us in return (always relevant information in context).
But It's importance cannot be underestimated. In a better world, augmented reality allows us to explore a reality with multiple layers and always contextually relevant information.
With that in mind though, the current state of RTW is the stone age and we are nothing but a bunch of slaves ploughing through an overwhelming amount of information in order to find something of importance that we can then share with others through some aggregator.
In a better world, we will still receive way to much information to ever process. But instead of scanning each post as a separate entity, the RTW will reflect an emerging alternate reality based on knowledge our needs.
Until then RTW will continue to include more and more sources communicating most of them automatically, but my guess is that they will be part of a soup of the augmented reality universe and serve to in the end create an alternative matter based on information. Allowing for the construction of the agumented layer.
There is huge start-up potential to figure out a way to filter information in a way that allows for all sorts of information to pass through without any of it being more important, but where it together will create an alternative reality.
I would think that the next feature that aggregator will need to look at it a better filtering only surfacing things to me when they are of importance (again exactly like the brain works)

Sorry for the rant.
