Twine

This is a really cool website.

Basically you create a profile and write down your interests. It then gathers articles and websites that you might find interesting. You can then choose to organize, share, and discover new interests.

It is like Digg, but tailored for you. It is better than most RSS readers because you are not restricted by your subscriptions but allow it to choose what you might find interesting.
