I tend to use the sponge technique... I like getting some repeats in stories, as it's a helpful prod that says "look at me! I'm an important story!" I figure if people are talking about it more, it should be worth my while. (Though that sounds similar to what you commented on, albeit on the smaller scale.)

But I found a lot of duplication in the stories covered, like 3-4 sites on the same thing with nothing new to say. I'm getting most of the information I had before in a lot less time. I'm okay with missing some of the smaller stuff I might have otherwise caught; if the news is important enough it will make its way to me. Zach, I get that and it’s why I use google reader too.

For some reason I think I feel the crunch a bit less than I used to. I unsubscribed from the diggs or the Slashdots, just because they were putting out way too many stories to track. Part of it is likely that I can get my feeds on the go (via Newsgator's iPhone app), and it turns out that I have a lot of downtime (waiting to get seated, waiting for whatever, etc.) Just takes a couple moments to stay up-to-date, and I only lose out on time that would be dead to me anyway.
