> How would you expect it to handle high and low volume blogs together "meaningfully"?

An app that would let me dump all high volume blogs and Twitter into the same bucket would be awesome!

I guess a unified service that usefully filtered low S/N ratio feeds of all kinds would be awesome.

That's what google reader did for me, I subscribe to twitter feeds through RSS, label them (and other high-volue blogs) with a tag "noise", so I can easily mark them all as read.

Of course, Twitter is trying to kill RSS too, subscribing to new feeds doesn't seem to work.

What about a cloud-based app that kept synced across your devices? I wonder if it would be possible to create a client that would let you quickly read Twitter, app.net and feed content, and filter the latter two? (So long as you stay below the 100,000 user mark?)
