As you say, a better aggregator is still just an aggregator. I was feeling the same way post Mesh last year…http://shiftmode.com/2006/05/mesh-notes-rss.html

It isn't Noah's Ark, but is a great place to start. I've been making it a point to keep only the feeds that consistently provide me with interesting reading. An idea that comes to mind would be mashing a site like Bloglines together with a site like del.icio.us or Ma.gnolia. I would love to be able to see which blog posts have been bookmarked by other people in my "friends group".

I also thing there is room for a sort of intelligent algorithm that would weigh many factors: what your trusted friends are reading, what posts receive the most stars, bookmarks, links, comments, etc. Imagine a user experience where you are simply presented with a stream of posts "what we think you might be most interested in" and then a "more" button. Ultimately, while it may be possible to get to the bottom of your inbox, there is really no getting to the bottom of feeds. Often feeds are treated like an inbox, but I think we're going to have to gradually let go of this approach. There is simply too much (marginally) interesting stuff. One final thing - RSS feeds still aren't the kind of thing my mom would want to use. I think what is going to push adoption of feeds into the mainstream is when they become seamlessly integrated with video content. Reading a few websites in one place? Big deal. But getting your children's photos and your Desperate Housewives episodes in one place? That is disruptive.
