Dave I’m going to try this out. I think you’re onto something.

Interesting article and got me thinking, so I gave it a try – here’s a hastily written how-to on how I did it:

Probably tidy it up a bit when I am not dashing it off in my lunch break!

DT Snackr is great (I having it running right now) I’m looking at this from an infostream dashboard idea. Not for all feeds, just a few.

Just started using TweetDeck this morning, and it's already quickly becoming VERY handy. A great way to sort organize and utilize twitter in a much more effective manner. Still not sure if i'm ready to cash it in as an RSS reader quite yet, but I see your point of how/why it could be done. For RSS, I'm still in love with Snackr.

@Mark, what can I say, great minds think a like…

@Ed I like that idea. The biggest thing is that filter mechanism. I want to be able to find and pull things that I might not have otherwise.

@Miguel NetNewsWire is the RSS reader for the Mac

@Jake, you’re right I could but I’m talking like 20 feeds, so I’d have to meta those then pass through. Not impossible, but time consuming.

Couldn't you use something like Twitter Feed to post the RSS feeds of your favorite blogs to a new Twitter account and follow that in a separate group? Jake Stride´s last blog post..Is Linked In starting to make more sense to the UK market?

excellent point Tris – i would go one step further and see how we could turn twitter into a social news service a la Digg. Twigg anyone?
