I don't know about the op, but I'm in a similar boat. Here's why I do it. 1) I don't know of any source that likes exactly the same things as I do. Think venn diagrams. 2) It's very easy to skim over the things that aren't interesting. I usually see tweets through flipboard and it's like a magazine. I scan for interesting things, and skip most of it. This is the only way I know how to get the variety I want. I've thought about writing a statistical classifier to filter out a lot of it. I should get off my ass and do that.
