I suppose theoretically a personal site could include all the webmentions sent to it from other authors, other sites etc. in some sort of "firehose" that would be closer in meaning

I think there is a multi-user/multi-author meaning of "firehose" that's also lost with using the term to name a personal website feature

Mark Pilgrim's use of "Firehose" was I believe irony and poking fun at the term rather than a serious use, and thus deserves to be taken with a grain of salt or two rather than a "first real example" sort of thing

[artlung] I think some of my perspective / background here is that the emergence of "firehoses" as a "thing" was when [KevinMarks] and I were at Technorati, and it was very much a silo/hosting-provider only thing where they either needed to or preferred to provide a firehose for indexing rather than all the traffic polling individual feeds
