Do you have a iOS device forewardslash? If so, I highly recommend 'Zite'. It delivers an article stream based on a collection of topics you choose, and you can vote articles or authors up or down if you want. But the bottom line is that it gives you a range of stories, but introduces some serendipity as the story sources are not hardwired like a traditional RSS reader.
I didn't think I would like it that much, but it has surprised me. It's been my favorite way to read news for a while now, with aggregators filling rounding it out.

My fiancee as an iPhone, so I may give it a go on hers; thanks for the recommendation.

Yeah, give it a whirl, but imo, the app gets better the more time you spend with it, because you get to see the serendipity of new, related articles popping up from sources that you have not seen before.
For any given topic, like technology for instance, it's going to cover the major trending topics and include the obvious players as far as tech blogs, but smaller unknown ones will often pop into the stream over time. That's what I like about it. Come to think of it, it's kind of like Hubksi's being able to adjust how many unfollowed users pop into your stream :)
