HN is my RSS reader. I don't have time to check all the feeds that have potentially interesting (for me) content, and then browse each feed for actually interesting articles. There is no way I can discover any significant portion of new interesting feeds, and following a large number of feeds in a reader would make that even worse. As I told a friend recently, I don't follow blogs anymore, I read HN and let other interesting people lead me to interesting content. The HN comments for articles are always much more useful than the articles' local comments. That said, I do use the Brief reader, a Firefox plugin. If I find something extra interesting on HN, I will add it to Brief and follow it for awhile. Almost nothing is spongeworthy enough to stay in Brief more than a month or two. In Brief I currently have: - HN (sometimes I read it there, sometimes directly) - one local news feed - the feed for the Denver Post obituaries (they write interesting stories) - a feed from CrossFit - about five feeds of steadily diminishing spongeworthiness
