Newsle has been devised as a solution of sorts to such a conundrum. In general, we can define it as an alternative newsfeed whose dynamics are set down by each individual user.
On Newsle, you can have news about your contacts culled straight from Facebook and LinkedIn, and by telling Newsle which are important to you and which are irrelevant the application will understand what to show you and what to omit from that point onwards.
And the fact data can be culled both from Facebook and from LinkedIn means that when using Newsle you will be able to follow not just your friends but also public figures. Any budding entrepreneur will have a splendid chance to follow the big guys around, and learn from every step they are taking.
