How to avoid duplicate stories over individual RSS feeds

October 6, 2007 7:14 AM

I have multiple RSS feeds from different websites in Google Reader. However I find that there is a lot of duplication when I go through the individual feeds. Is there a way therefore to combine / group similar stories together (similar perhaps to Google News)?

For example, let's say I'm interested in Apple and I like to read technological news sites like Cnet, Technocrati, Engadget etc. Is there a way that I could combine the RSS feeds of all these, and have it collate stories on Apple together somehow? I'm wondering if what I'm looking for is Yahoo Pipes - unfortunately I've haven't had much luck in deciphering how to use it... other there other more user friendly alternatives or am I destined to continue reading the same story many times over?

Perhaps skip most of the tech blogs and let TechMeme do the aggregating for you? I hit the site when my unread feeds are too overwhelming. The feed for Techmeme doesn't include the "discussion" blog links, but a simlpe clickthrough will.
