any suggestions on what to do if you want to archive a webpage to a local drive? doing this takes care of webpages that may be time-limited, or which are important enough to warrant local archival.

i currently use scrapbook, a firefox ext, for local archival, but i'm having trouble organising all theinformation. i probbaly have hundreds of webpages saved. i'm looking for a tag/del.ico.us-like system to keep things on track. perhaps a delicious-scrapbook mashup? any suggestions welcome!

I follow a similar approach, but just using Bloglines. You can set Bloglines to open all links in one window. So I go through all of the feeds, and anything I want to read in more detail I click on. Then close Bloglines, go to that other window, and then just read, hit back, repeat.

Could you share the URL of your del.icio.us shortcut -- when I search for two tags in my del.icio.us links, it is not showing me only the items that I have tagged with both tags. In fact, some don't have either of the tags I requested (perhaps other people had tagged -- but it's unclear).

thanks.

Yes, that's what I am doing. I even use the same softwares (Firefox and NetNewsWire)! Except that I do not use del.icio.us. :)

Why would you want to close your newsreader? It will not do regular updates when you close it. Much better to minimize it.

I use exactly the same method, but I perform another step that might be very useful. When I'm done reading the interesting news from my browser, then I'm going to popurls wich is an amazing website that is feeded with the most popular news from digg,del.icio.us,reddit,googlenews,youtube,flickr...

Hope you'll find it useful!

Nice, but why "read" when you can "listen"?? I use iSpeak It from ZappTek on OS X to convert all of the RSS feeds I used to read into text-to-speech audio files, which then automatically load into iTunes and my iPod. The same can be done with any clipboard text, Word doc, PDF, etc. (This is not an endorsement for iSpeak It. I’m sure other applications exist for Mac or PC, or you could creatively combine several apps to accomplish the same thing.) What I find especially powerful about the audio approach is that I can continue to listen to my feeds while at the grocery store, running errands, folding laundry, etc. I can easily fast forward or jump to the next track (blog) at any point. If a post is especially interesting, I will go online to read it or bookmark it with Del.icio.us.

Funny, I commented on this information overload problem on my own blog today. Anyhow, I plan to write a post that talks about how I use text-to-speech for keeping up on tech news and just about everything I do. My computer is almost always reading something while I simultaneously read or work on something else. At this point, I’m not sure I could live without text-to-speech. :)

Here's a good trick: set your "Post to Weblog" app to cocoalicious, Pukka, or some other similar app, and you can post a link directly to del.icio.us right from NetNewsWire

Some other things to do for you Netnewswire users (not having used too many other readers, I'm not sure that you can do these things elsewhere, though it seems like it ought to be a standard feature in any respectable aggregator):

1. Use groups! There are _a lot_ of quality news sources out there and once you start to amass more than 20 or so (I am currently subscribed to a little over 300 feeds) then it can absolutely become cumbersome to trudge through them all at any given time. So, categorize! Then collapse the folders so you're not looking at all the different sources.

2. Prioritize! Netnewswire has a cool feature that allows you to set the refresh time on individual feeds. If you're subscribing to a feed that is of interest to you, but that you don't need to keep up on _every_ day, then don't. Change the refresh parameters to only check for new content every 72 hours.

3. "Mark All As Read" is _your friend_. Learn to use it wisely. If you have a "Fun" group with 20 feeds set to refresh every two days, and all of a sudden you have a group with 120 new items in it, don't be afraid to _skim_ the headlines and then "Command + K" it. It can almost seem like a waste to aggregate a bunch of information that you don't even read, but sometimes you just have to hit reset rather than get bogged down.

4. Dinosaurs. Though it is somewhat hidden, and doesn't have a keyboard shortcut :'(, the dinosaurs feature of Netnewswire lets you see feeds that haven't refreshed recently, possibly indicating that the source has been abandoned. Use it. Use it well. Nuke feeds that you don't need.

Any other tricks?

I use Feed Digest to splice feeds. Has a lot of other nice features as well, including publishing the feed to a blog, javascript, or html (I use it to automatically publish some of my del.icio.us links on my blog as well)
