Shame on me for not knowing about this sooner, but Findory.com is another personalised news service: this one looks at what you read and what you search for, and builds a customised news page for you (in a kind of Amazon Recommends sort of way).

This does seem better than the more arbitrary RSS feeds that can overwhelm you with the volume of new postings, so I’ll be trying it to see if it does indeed live up to its promises…
