I use rss with inoreader, but I also have a browser folder of twenty tabs with various sites (from BBC to Decrypt to Slashdot), and every morning, I open all tabs (after Chrome yells at me), then skim each one as I'm having my coffee, opening stuff I want to read more about in new tabs. It gives me an overview of stuff going on in the world on top of what I get from my feed and forums.
