Cool RSS Feeds?

mgessner asks: "I'm searching for some new and interesting things to read related to geekdom, humor, the Internet, and all things technological. Normally, I'd search Google for this, but trying to find something like RSS feeds on Google would be like looking for a needle in a haystack: there's just too much to sift through. So, does anyone want to share their favorite RSS feeds (other than our own beloved /.) they'd like to recommend?"

Bloglines

[contrasutra]

Bloglines.com is actually a neat way to get new RSS feeds.

It's basically a web RSS viewer. Add or Import (OPML) all your feeds in, and you can view them from anywhere. But the cool thing is that it will recommend other RSS feeds based on what you (and others) are subscribed too. It's very good, and I've found lots of useful feeds from it.

It's free, no ads, has import/export (no lock in), etc.

Hmmmmmm

Distilled and actually interesting NPR

Beloved Slashdot? Pfeh. But seriously try Gizmodo or Lawrence Lessig's blog.

Two good RSS directories of which I am aware

[Paul Bain]

Recently, on a mailing list (cms@lists.cms-forum.org), NewsIsFree was recommended as offering categorized RSS links, and Syndic8.com was also mentioned in this vein.

Keep in mind that it is increasingly likely that Atom will kick RSS's butt, at least as long as Dave "the Whiner" Winer continues to control RSS and to refuse to improve it. Indeed, the primarily reason that Atom exists is that Winer refused to allow any improvements to RSS. If I were you, I would investigate Atom (and Atom feeds) rather than spend time on that which is likely soon to become thrown into on the rubbish bin of history.

...it's not an RSS feed, but a 'humoristic' link in Sevn's sig.

Search around for your favorites.
Syndic8.com is a good place to search for feeds.

del.icio.us

[patelbhavesh]

I like feeds of http://del.icio.us/ where anyone can submit their bookmarks and the most popular bookmarks can be seen.
There is also an extension for our favourite broowser Firefox at http://delicious.mozdev.org/
