As you may know, I resigned from Facebook a few months ago. I don’t miss it one bit. And while I get a good dose of tech news from Twitter, it isn’t enough. So I’m an at-least-every-hour TechMeme reader, even though I admit that it isn’t really tech news. It’s an addiction. So hat’s off to Gabe Rivera for creating something I can’t live without. But I want more! More! More!! 
Then the other day I was looking at the TechMeme leaderboard, and saw that it lists the RSS feeds for most of the top sites. So I pulled them info into an OPML file, and created a river out of it using my River2 software, and let it run overnight to see what it would look like after some stories had come in.
No surprise — it’s pretty fantastic.
I know you all love tech news, so I wanted to share.
PS: I sent Gabe an email yesterday with a pointer yesterday asking if it would be possible to jointly provide this as a service on techmeme.com. He’s probably busy creating new “meme” sites — but the offer remains open. I’d love to see this as river.techmeme.com or something like that. I think everyone who wants to be blasted with tech news should know about it.
PPS: John Battelle posted an excellent item yesterday asking what our vision is for the future of the web. I wanted to point out that all of these sites are totally on the web. So it ain’t dead yet. And they all have feeds too. Just thought I’d mention that.
