Hacker News Reader

I have stopped consuming news through RSS readers because no one organize can produce quality work on a consistent basis. With limited amount of time I need a system that would tell me newsworthiness of an item. I have come to a conclusion that crowdsourced news is the best form of news reading. I have been slowly trying to read all my news on Google+, HN, and Reddit.

What this misses for me is solid pieces that aren't hugely popular.

There are a number of sources that I don't want to miss. This includes things that friends write. But the ones I really treasure are the people who are interesting alternative voices, the ones who in 5 years time might turn out to have been 5 years ahead of everybody else.

If you read what everybody else is reading, you'll only know what everybody else knows.

I tend to fall into I-have-to-follow-everything-category stealing time that I could spend creating stuff that other folks might have not imagined.

Yeah, that's a risk. It's not a big problem for me now, but then my must-read category is pretty small.
