[Apophenia] When i first started using RSS, i was ecstatic. Rather than relying on going to each person’s page, i could just throw them all in one place and go through them. I’m a bit more disillusioned now. I got all excited and started adding every blog that had an interesting thread. Almost humorously, i started breaking after about 150 regularly updated blogs. Worse: i miss half of the interesting posts that i want to read because i’m too overwhelmed.

This made me sit back and think about what kind of an RSS feed i want.

Good thoughts on what’s missing from aggregators today, yet parts of it sound similar to social networks (like friendster and orkut), which fail to keep my interest.
