Now I read a couple hundred feeds, rarely do I bring the post count down to zero. But this is amazing.
Every morning Robert Scoble starts his day by sifting through 622 RSS feeds. In this interview, he describes the tools and tricks that enable him to accomplish the immense task of personally aggregating the live web. Here are a few spoiler tips:
- Use Google Reader (keyboard commands make browsing faster)
- Use “all items view” to see the full river of news in chronological order
- Filter out potentials in the first pass. Take a top level filter for topic, information density, author, and quality of post. Only articles that make the cut are looked at in more detail.
- Superhuman abilities help

I love some of his ideas. But he’s true, sometimes its the quality of the smaller bloggers and the fact they have a specific view on a subject that makes them interesting.
