How do you organize your internet news?
besides DU, I read some blogs and subscribe to some channels.

But how do you have it organized? I've played around with some RSS feed readers, but I keep returning to MyYahoo, which I've been using for about ten years.

Surely there must be a better way.

1. My web browser does it for me, really
Kinda cool cuz I can choose what I'm interested in to be listed in it's own category. But it keeps track of news stories that don't fit those categories (admittedly, mostly about sex, gender politics, feminism and gay rights - limited but interests me most).

I have it organized by subject, by author and then general.

Khash.

2. What browser is that?
I do pretty much the same with MyYahoo which I can view with either FF or IE. Or from any other computer since it's web-based.

3. Safari
Comes with most of it programmed. You just customize it.

5. sort of sounds like MyYahoo
I've got it set up with my sports teams, weather and airfare to just the cities I'm interested in, etc. And I can add any RSS I need and even turn any web page into an RSS.

I'm mostly tired of staring at the annoying banner at the top of MyYahoo page begging me to switch to the NewMyYahoo, which looks like crap. If I was more motivated, I would take a tab at creating a Greasemonkey to deal with it.
