Indeed. But how many "To B2B or not B2B" headlines can you read before
you run screaming for the door?

As for context switching, I don't want to mix contexts. But my point is
that if you read 10 feeds on a given subject, there's not a one to one
match between feed and context. For instance, take a feed from Moreover
based on a search for P2P. Mix it with direct feeds from OpenP2P,
Peertal and a few others on P2P. All the items will be about P2P and
from the POV of getting the latest news it wouldn't matter which
particular feed the item came from. So why group them by feed?
