DiggFiltr - create customized Digg feeds

DiggFiltrI love Digg. Oops, am I allowed to say that? I'm sure it's okay. Anyway, I love Digg, but I find it sort of really overwhelming. I don't mind admitting that some of the best downloads I write about here come from social news sites like Digg, Netscape, Delicious, etc. But it's really hard to keep up with the information that flows from these sites - it's like standing in the line of fire of a firehose, and trying to take little sips.

In Digg's case, someone has come up with a very elegant solution. DiggFiltr allows you to choose a category or multiple categories from Digg, as well as some search terms, and build an RSS feed that will update with items that satisfy your criteria.

I just hope they make something similar for all the other social news sites I follow.
