RSS Could Be More Useful

I was visiting this blog, the maker of my pocket pc RSS reader and found this interesting post, from this site:

When i first started using RSS, i was ecstatic. Rather than relying on going to each person's page, i could just throw them all in one place and go through them. I'm a bit more disillusioned now. I got all excited and started adding every blog that had an interesting thread. Almost humorously, i started breaking after about 150 regularly updated blogs. Worse: i miss half of the interesting posts that i want to read because i'm too overwhelmed. This made me sit back and think about what kind of an RSS feed i want.

I too have been annoyed with the limitations on my RSS feeds. I hope someone improves on this. I especially like the idea he had of being able to limit Google searches to blog sites. ~Jason
