Wired Magazine

I read my news via Google News reader. I subscribed to Wired Top Stories, because i work in IT. I have received the SAME article 30 times over the last 2 days. With over 200 articles a day to glance at, seeing the same one (2 lines long) 30 times is more than a bit annoying.

Wired is a tech publication, wouldn't you think that someone would have noticed that they are sending out the same article that many times?

Shorten URLs to a few characters.

I just got twirl to access my twitter account. I have heard of TinyUrl.com and a few others. The twirl client comes with a button to id.gd . Yep, thats it. My blog address shortens to http://is.gd/BHu . Thats even easier than getting my own domain name, and worth sharing. Hope someone finds this useful.
