The issue with bird calls isn't the number of birds, but the variety - that makes it easier to filter 100s, and sometimes even 1000s - calls that are unique (or that I've never heard before) still stand out! But I fully agree that serendipity is critical. Following a semi-random path through the web is still an interesting and often fruitful thing to do. The Robert Frost analogy makes the point nicely. Thanks for the comment Alan!

Of course looking out your window at a handful of birds is one thing, yet what happens when it is 100, 1000? I suggest a third dimension of algorithmic and personal, though now that it write, it might be the latter- and that is serendipity... many of my favorite discoveries are link wandering- 3 links away from something in my RSS reader, or something I find on the sidebar of a link I followed in twitter. It's kind of like going out for a walk to scout for birds, and not being so deliberate n your choice of paths (Robert Frost analogy fits here too).
