That is, I don't think it's historically accurate to document Pilgrim's example as a "real example" as opposed to an example of humor / backhanded critique

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

I follow some tumblr feeds that post at a clip that my reader does not keep up with. I always seem to have about 20 posts, all new.

right, the tech used in feeds didn't work for what they needed for a firehose

because feeds didn't work as a technology for firehoses

oh yeah, the reason for calling it "firehose" and not a "feed" was specifically because of the metaphor of the overwhelming flow of water from a firehose

my gps logs are around 7-12k entries per day so that barely counts as a firehose tbh
