“I currently read 10-15 news sites. I spend too much time reading the news. How do I get to the stories that really matter to me?” I don’t know about you, but for me, this problem is solved by using RSS (Reeder) and receiving email digests from Percolate, The Brief, and Hackernewsletter. http://www.percolate.com http://www.percolate.com http://www.thebrief.io http://www.thebrief.io http://www.hackernewsletter.com http://www.hackernewsletter.com Bonus: http://www.thefeature.net/ http://www.thefeature.net/

I tried to do email digests. I really did. I am signed up for a few of those. My problem is they get lost in my inbox. Personally I like to check into news sites several times a day. The feature is really interesting to me however. I personally don't use tumblr, but the inherent "repost" feature about it seems really attractive. Maybe I should look into automatic posting to tumblr. Thanks for the feedback! I've never heard of the brief!

  “My problem is [email digests] get lost in my inbox” I have a Smart Mailbox set up in Mail.app that all those digests land in, that way they’re not mixed in with all the email that I need to act on. “The feature is really interesting to me however. I personally don't use tumblr, but the inherent "repost" feature about it seems really attractive. Maybe I should look into automatic posting to tumblr.” The Feature is a selection of articles that people save to read later using Instapaper. The Tumblr connection is Marco Arment, who worked at Tumblr and created Instapaper and The Feature. You can set up Instapaper in such a way that whenever you mark something ‘Read later’ (from the web or a RSS client like Reeder), it’s automatically added to your tumblelog. You can then peruse your tumblelog whenever you feel like it.
