Inside information

Here is a little inside information for anyone who wants to increase their chances of getting into my Interesting Finds:

  1. Write good technical content
  2. Have a discriptive but short title (to catch my attention)
  3. Start the title with a letter that will show up early in an alpha order like 'A'
  4. If your blog is not in my opml file, let me know what it is and I'll add it.

The process I follow every morning is something like this:

  • Start Omea Reader
  • Fix coffee and let blogs update
  • Wait for all feeds to update
  • Start OneNote and stub out the html that has the signal to noise ratio in it
  • After Omea is done updating, order all unread entries by alpha (this helps with duplicates)
  • Start at the top and look at all of the unread entries (as long as I have time) and create the link listing html in OneNote as I go
  • Once finished, copy all the html from OneNote to .Text

For 500 unread entries I usually spend about an hour putting together the list of entries I think are good enough to go back and read completely (ie. I scan them the first time to see if they look interesting).
