comment Where can I find a minimalistic news summary site?
Looking at Newsmap, it seems to emphasise very recent arguments, and not be so good for daily browsing

One thing you will notice is that the linked section in the right sidebar now lists your question. So the link is actually bidirectional

comment Information overload: tips and tricks to effectively manage google reader subscriptions
This sounds like a good strategy, but I prefer to use stars to mark posts that might be worth referring to again in the future, so I send my links to read it later instead. One thing I recommend is that you separate out your high noise feeds from your low noise feeds. This ensures that you don't miss the posts you want to read among all the noise. It also means that if you are away for a while, you can just mark everything in the high noise feeds as noise.

@phwd: I actually meant the ability to publish into multiple lists (which I think would make it easier to clean up some of the noise)

What's wrong with a Google account? OpenID would be better though. Buzz is good, just interested in what else has been tried though.

Facebook is actually what I mainly use at the moment. What do you mean by multiple feeds?

comment Google search engine alternatives
Wow, several of those features like the bang syntax, zero-click info (including Wolfram Alpha results) and official sites are pretty awesome. I also like how it loads more results when you scroll. I would consider swapping if I weren't making such heavy use of Google Bookmarks

"I think you might be trying to bend Twitter into something it isn't" - thats why I asked for an alternative =P. I am aware that Twitter's dominance makes it hard for other services to take off

@ChrisF: If that is its purpose, Twitter really should only show the users posts when you visit a profile so you can see if they are worth following
