http://hubski.com/tag?id=politics A couple of redditors recently tried something somewhat like that with wubel.com http://www.wubel.com/channel/technology We've talked about the right-hand side for discovery, but like you said, it's kind of a force-feed. That's why I am kind of leaning towards users electing to have some portion of their feed be non-followed content. It would be obvious which posts were coming from the outside, and you could toggle how much of it you wanted to see.
