Paolo, you make good points about the psychological influence of user interfaces, as well as our self-consciousness about our relative position in the "attention demand curve"--sometimes we want lots of peers in the Head, and sometimes we want to be on our own way down the Tail.

I don't think we've even begun to understand either topic. How UIs for attention services will affect our perception and alter our behavior is clearly a rich area for further research. And how we experience our culture, our community, even ourselves will certainly be altered by our growing awareness of attention data (such as how many fellow subscribers there are for a particular feed).

And your English is a lot better than my Italian ;-)
