Keeping up with the new...

It's a little ironic that I'm posting this now, since it showed up on Kevin Kelly's blog 15 days ago, but I guess we can't all be up to date all the time. ;-)

This post on Cool Tools points to a bunch of sites -- he calls them Consensus Web Filters -- that can help us keep up with the latest and greatest.

...each of these sites supplies readers with pointers to news items that are ranked by other readers. None of these sites generates news; they only point to it by filtering the links to newsy items. Using different formulas they rank an ever moving list of links on the web. The velocity of their lists varies by site, but some will have a 100% turnover in a few days.

Well worth a look!
