Speaking of Twitter, just today Nic Brisbourne summed-up part of the signal-to-noise filtering challenge:

As the models become more refined, the signal-to-noise ratio in the data becomes very attenuated.

Any smart filtering/sorting tool may buy you several orders of magnitude ‘improvement’ (think how great ‘feed aggregators’ were when they first appeared), but the signal-to-noise ratio eventually plummets as the noise level skyrockets once again (consider all your unread aggregator feeds).

But the automated reliability you get from DTN enables you to transmit data at the beginning and end of a tracking pass, when the signal-to-noise is still low, because any data that are lost due to corruption are automatically retransmitted later.
