I find that with RSS readers that tell me how many stories I have not read, it’s like a game where I want to keep the count to zero. So I was thinking this morning that what I would like is an RSS reader that doesn’t tell me how many stories I haven’t read, but will pick me out a coffee-break’s worth at random (probably about 3) from my unread stories. Something more like a Last.fm radio station.(Link)

Aha! A scenario we can do something about. We took a decision early on to make a “river” style aggregator rather than a “mail” style aggregator. So all the stories are mixed into one big feed with no unread counter. And the number that make it into the river are configured by sliding the “volume” control.

So maybe Suzi can use FeedForward one day…
