Earlier quoted context omitted.

i totally agree. unfortunately this is how i earn part of my income. reading all sort of tech news, gathering the info, and use it to help clients get on the boat.

That's fine. Please, though, write properly (i.e., capitalization and spelling). You can take the time. We are a community that would really, really prefer it.

"we". I think your comment implies that you are a veteran of this community and that I am the fresh rookie who needs guidance. Well, I guess you have learned quite a lot in the last 58 days and 12 submissions to be in a position to "we" me. Seriously, I am going to try to make you happy and write properly, but in return I am hoping you will tone your expectation as far as grammar and spelling a tiny bit. Look at the design of this site, it eliminates anything not necessary, but if you must insist that I hit shift about 11 times, just so you understand me no more than if I did not, then I will. Lastly since you are that upset about the capitalization I would suggest you stop looking at your username because your golden rule doesn't apply there, and neither does it on the reply button.

EDIT: Even the sentences in your comment are not well structured.

Read less, do more

what if reading is doing? reading is (can be)very productive. Take an analyst who reads a tone of data and makes decision for a company. Reading in this case is very much like doing, because without it he could not make any decision. Of course you could argue, he can simply use a decision making software, but what does the software do? READ data and make decision based on what it READ.

> Where do u go for news when u've read all posts on the YC frontpage? "u"? I guarantee that if there were some even cooler place than HN for smart people to gather, I wouldn't ruin it by telling "u"!

if some1 is offended by "u" than they r clearly complicatd and taking life a bit too seriously. and besides isn't this web 2.0 where we have flickR and Youniversity I think those are more morphed than my "u"

Yeah, it's definitely an elitist thing.

I think you are getting a lot of negative feedback here because when there is an avalanche of articles available to read, the more interesting question is how do you filter it all down to just a few useful ones. Even with Hacker News being the highest signal to noise site I read currently, the vast majority of articles are noise (to me).

I would love to see a "mark all as read" button on the front page, which would ensure I never see any of those articles on the front page again.

To answer your question with a question, where do you want to go?

You don't really specify where your interests lie or what type of "news" you're looking for. I could tell you where I go, but unless you're into the exact same things that I'm into, you're just going to be bored. I don't think anybody's really looking to plan your day for you.

I made it for myself. It is intended to contain the most interesting stories at the moment. It is updated every 10 min with the top 3 stories from a bunch of most emailed type feeds (that I have tweaked over time), sorted by when the story was noticed first.

I use it as my homepage. The latest story comes up automatically. Occasionally I use the keyboard shortcuts (arrow keys, r -- see bottom right) to review the rest.

If anyone uses it, feed ideas are always appreciated.
