Slashdot or TechMeme?

I'm now subscribed to too many blogs to keep both Slashdot and TechMeme in my Google Reader. One or the other has to go.

Truth is almost everything reported on TechMeme also appears on Slashdot, it's just they both have innovative but different "discussion" methods.

Slashdot has its newly updated threshold driven comments system which if used correctly can yield some interesting conversations.

TechMeme manages to pull together every other site running the story.

I think i've answered my own question. TechMeme is the logical winner - it will lead me to the Slashdot story if it exists in the majority of cases. In which case, why do I feel so reluctant to shut off from Slashdot's feed? Maybe i'm more loyal to organisations than I realised..

Damn. Looks like i'm keeping them both. Thanks Blogger, this achieved nothing.
