       | I'm using Feedbin (paid, $5/month) as I find their Twitter
       | integration superior to anything else I've seen (it shows threads
       | as one entry, it retains some of the Twitter UI elements, and it
       | fetches the content of links so I can read them there, I can just
       | add people to a Twitter list and subscribe to that list in
       | Feedbin). It also lets me add Twitter searches which lets me read
       | people's replies.

       | One more source you can add is Reddit. I usually only go for the
       | top posts, like this:
       | https://www.reddit.com/r/coolgithubprojects/top/.rss
       | 
       | I then use Instapaper for deferred reading.

       | Check out hckrnews[0]. It gives you a clean chronological list of
       | entries that you can filter down to top 10, 50%, frontpage and
       | all.
       | 
       | It also marks the point where you last visited, and dims the
       | entries that you clicked.

       | What is the point of using a selfhosted RSS solution and then use
       | Pocket?

         | Pocket's UI and reading experience suits me very well.
