Kataku posts nearly 45 entries a day! That is insane! Who the hell has the time to read that many entries?!
I need someone to filter through Kotaku and post the 2-3 news-worthy posts they have. And please, please stop posting about game-related paper craft. Nobody cares.
A shame really, as Kotaku, like Joystiq, which is also up there with 22 some posts a day! Newsflash: There can’t possible be 22 interesting things happening in the world of film every day!
Same goes for Whedonesque and the other top-posters, really.
wow, I would but you know, life presses on!
Thats alot of posting!
If it turns out any good, ALL HAIL!
I see you’re using Google Reader for feed browsing.
How’s that going? I still favour NNW (which I thought you were using), is there any particular reason you’re using Google Reader over NNW?
I used NNW in ye ol’ times. But I always hated not being able to check my feeds at work and away from my main computer in general. They of course have Newsgator, but last I used it, it sucked ass.
Google Reader on the other hand is fast, fairly reliable and available anywhere, which has served me well on more than one occasion.
Yes, I’m syncing mine with Newsgator so I get the same on my work Mac and personal laptop. I guess if youre on a PC you cant use NNW, but isnt there a Windows alternative?
I just love the NNW interface, Hicks stylesheet goes someway to prettifying GReader (and Ill try that for a while), and although Feedlounge is much nicer sadly it costs money.
Netvibes is pretty nifty, for a standalone reader BlogBridge rocks.
I agree 100%. I was actually just thinking about that solution two days ago in the case of Engadget.
I also have the Otaku & Joystiq feeds and the solution is to read their feeds several times a day. Also, you(we) probably don’t need them both.
Google reader sucked a lot when it was released but after some “updates” it got really good. Ditto for Hicks stylesheet if someone wants a more OSXish look.
Yahoo! Pipes is probably the easiest way of getting what you want.
Seriously, gaming sites seem to be the worst for over-posting. If they didn’t post every rumor, speculation and paper craft that arrived in their inbox, they’d probably be down to the 2 or 3 posts with substance and value that we all crave. Sadly, that won’t happen any time soon.
I totally agree. I love reading some of the stuff on Engadget, Boing Boing, TUAW, and digg, but 95% of the time I end up having to click “Mark all as read” otherwise it feels like I’m just drowning in new posts. I understand many of these sites compensate their writers based on the # of posts they do a day, but I think there needs to be a lot more editorial work done for many of them.

Regular reader, but first time commenter!
How about trying out feedrinse.com? I should probably tell you that I haven’t been using it myself since I couldn’t get it to rinse my feeds after 90 seconds of fiddling, but that shouldn’t stop you!
Btw, my weapon of choice regarding rss-apps is endo, quite happy actually, but I use my mac for both job and private duties.
Happy hunting!

At the very least, you don’t need to filter mine. :) In a few months time, when I’m posting illustrations up the ying yang, then you might need to.
Filter * but Star Wars and LOTR.
Zing.
Stumbled upon the freshly announced webapp, AideRSS, and thought of your post. Seems to fit the bill quite nicely!
