Cool RSS Feeds? 78
mgessner asks: "I'm searching for some new and interesting things to read related to geekdom, humor, the Internet, and all things technological. Normally, I'd search Google for this, but trying to find something like RSS feeds on Google would be like looking for a needle in a haystack: there's just too much to sift through. So, does anyone want to share their favorite RSS feeds (other than our own beloved /.) they'd like to recommend?"

It's basically a web RSS viewer. Add or Import (OPML) all your feeds in, and you can view them from anywhere. But the cool thing is that it will recommend other RSS feeds based on what you (and others) are subscribed too. It's very good, and I've found lots of useful feeds from it.
It's free, no ads, has import/export (no lock in), etc.

It shows a title saying "Top Ten Cute Kittens". It then shows a cute kitten. Next, when you think it'll show another kitten, it shows a message: "THE BOSS IS A CUNT!" It also screams that text. I don't know if it repeats, or not, though.

Two good RSS directories of which I am aware (Score:5, Informative)
Keep in mind that it is increasingly likely that Atom will kick RSS's butt, at least as long as Dave "the Whiner" Winer continues to control RSS and to refuse to improve it. Indeed, the primarily reason that Atom exists is that Winer refused to allow any improvements to RSS. If I were you, I would investigate Atom (and Atom feeds) rather than spend time on that which is likely soon to become thrown into on the rubbish bin of history.

Re:good RSS directories -- longevity of protocols (Score:2)
Often, that is true. There a few reasons that this general rule does not apply in this case. First, RSS is far from having hit critical mass. Second, this inertia in the world of network protocols results from the difficulty in changing from an entrenched protocol to other, newer protocols. There will no such difficulty in changing from RSS to Atom. I cannot imagine why would it be

Atom's main goal is to have a well specified unambigious specification [intertwingly.net]. The problem behind RSS is that it is ambigious - so leads to silent data loss - and it took the rather public failure at Reuters [intertwingly.net] for the point to sink in [harvard.edu].
