At the ReadWrite Real-Time Web Summit last Thursday, Jason Shellen, a former Google engineer and current Thing Labs CEO, sat down to talk with us about filtration and discovery on the real-time web.

One of the greatest problems of this environment is said to be the capacity for information overload. At a Summit session, representatives of some of the most "filter-geeky" real-time startups debated the methods and merits of parsing data from the real-time web. Shellen's was one of the most authoritative voices in the session, and his one-on-one insights are well worth listening to.
