NewsBlur helps here a bit as it has filtering, but that takes a bit of time to get right. I think most sites should offer far more RSS feeds so you can subscribe to the specific things you want to read. Now, my problem is I'm subscribed to too many RSS feeds especially for SaaS products that either rarely update their blogs or rarely publish something I'm interested in (especially updates about their products). I use its web view on desktop, then on mobile use Reeder to sync NewsBlur and Instapaper. (Your newsreader checks the feed automatically, every few hours.) Tons of websites already have feeds, mostly news sites. A feed contains the latest content in a form that your newsreader app understands. And it has a bit of the old Google Reader-style network to discover feeds others like. RSS) A feed is also known as a web feed and the technical term (which you’ll see a lot) is RSS feed. In a similar vein, you could self-host it if you want, but I'm happy paying for the service to sync feeds. Once it quit being supported and my install had some issues, I ended up going with Newsblur. It was just simple and easy to use-never worked great on mobile web, but most of the major iOS RSS feed apps supported it.

When Google Reader died, I first switched to Fever, a self-hosted RSS reader service that I loved.
