Post:Bye Bye Slashdot

From Fozzee.net

After 10 years, I've determined that I'm going to stop reading Slashdot on a regular basis (for reasons that you are already aware of, if you know what Slashdot is). The first 7 years, I read in a variety of ways, via their website, with custom subscriptions and whatnot. Nowadays, I read via Google Reader and it's much more convenient. However... I've found myself becoming annoyed with the quality of articles lately, and the sheer volume of stuff that I don't care about (This occurs in many of my feeds, but Slashdot is the worst).

At this point, I'm reading Slashdot as a "general tech/geeky news outlet", but am interested in a lower volume, higher quality source. I checked Reader, and it says that they put up 22 posts per day. This accounts for a little over 20% of my daily average (most days, some of my feeds post on specific days of the week). I'd really like to cut that down some, say 25-50%.

So, here's my question to you: I'm looking for a general purpose techie/geeky news aggregator that runs between 10 and 15 posts per day (avg), and that provides good, well-rounded summaries. If you have any ideas, let me know!
