Unfortunately it's a bad compromise, as you're still missing out on a lot of stuff when you only follow news.

Personally, I think the easy answer here is that tweet aggregation is over the line. End of story.

Nope, you're not alone. Du(|tri|quadru)plicates, articles spread over several posts, video-of-random-app posts, tweets etc all take their toll. I'm tempted to become a bit aggressive with the thumbs down button lately.

Do any of you subscribe to the (community-filtered) http://maemo.org/news/items.xml instead of the planet? Does that work (as in: Would I miss relevant information that way?)
I tried it for a while, but I found that I missed too many relevant (to me, apparently my interests don't exactly coincide with popular opinion) posts. YMMV.

I still read the planet first thing in the morning and I've yet to find a better alternative; also, if things stay as they are now it might still be acceptable once I get used to it.
I expect/hope that it's a temporary thing and S/N will improve once retail devices start shipping, we'll see...

Actually, Maemo News has a feature for adding your Attention Profile into the calculations. This way the system takes into account the things you've favourited in the past, plus your delicious bookmarks if you use that.

Currently the system isn't being used, but at least if your maemo.org account is old enough you can see what attention data it has gathered for you on the site.

If enough people find the idea of "personalized" Maemo News useful, we could start testing it with some group of people.

Oh, absolutely. In fact that was a hot topic some time back with favorable responses.

There is also a Brainstorm on making maemo.org/news more customizable for one's needs.

That's very interesting, but it thinks I don't like "community", "freesoftware" and "nokia n800" which couldn't be further from the truth :-( Sometimes you bury a post because it's a bad post, regardless of subject matter.

What I'm wondering about is what that "Taking A Page From DF" article doing as the #1 article in maemo.org/news. Only 1 voted for it and it comes from an unknown author.

EDIT: looks like all the noise is coming from that same poster with this icon:

Check out his posts at : http://maemo.org/news/planet-maemo/
EDIT 2: Ah, and it looks like Planet Maemo is subscribed to his feed. http://friendfeed.com/firefoxmobile

I personally would ban tweets from there. The only reason I keep on using RSS reader is because it can be used offline, and a 3-word tweet with an URL doesn't help.
