Relieving RSS Fatigue

Then it hit me, what I needed was a way to organize the articles based on topic.  After reading the specs for RSS, I found that the category element would work well for my needs.  So I added some code to my rss2db app.  Using tag -< tag_article >- article for the db schema.  Then I bolted on a tag cloud view to see how that would look.  I had 5 sizes for the tags based on the number of articles for that tag.  It worked out well for the first week or two but then I found that some stuff I wanted to emphasize more then others so that when a specific topic/tag pop up somewhere I would be able to see it no matter how many articles iphone was getting that day.
