I've got local news, world news, news from the places I'm planning on traveling to. I've got news on what my friends are doing, I've got news from various software projects I'm interested in, and news on what's happening in IT in general. Not to mention entertainment - dozens of web comics, pages offering jokes, and quotes, and funny and/or cool pictures. It's information overload! It’s an interesting problem, isn’t it?
