aaronpk that's a good cite, and very much similar to how Bluesky uses it - when you have a giant corpus of user activity - how to you consume, retransmit, manage such a thing

All I have on the firehose page is "One usage of the term" - I am not citing it as first or "real." As to "real" - I'm skeptical ironic usage can even apply. Popehat's Law gets all such would-be ironists in the end

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
