Dunno whether I mentioned it back then or not, but I've found that using
an RSS aggregator works very well. There are lots of them, but I'm liking
Amphetadesk.

Google news has RSS feeds. So does the Christian Science Monitor, BBC,
Slashdot, LWN, Politechbot (via newsisfree, I think), etc., and you can
get AP and UPI feeds too.

There's also newsisfree.com -- they have RSS feeds, or you can create an
account and build your own custom news page.

The thing about using an aggregator is you use what you like. Google news
is cool, but I can do without the sports and entertainment. But I take
their U.S. news RSS feed.
