That can be interesting too to see a snapshot of quick impressions, like multiple facets of the same story almost simultaneously.

We built all sorts of tools to allow the creation of blended feeds like this and I'm also surprised at the odd "narratives" that sometimes arise. I guess as humans we can't help but see patterns in chaos :) Since we allow multiple reading lists and multiple rivers based on different reading lists (I've got several of my own with different feeds, although multiple rivers is a paid feature) and the original concept was for the republishing of these rivers as widgets, I get to play with all sorts of different combinations of feeds. You can poke around on http://grazr.com/whatsnew and http://grazr.com/recent to find lots of "mixes", the first being our examples and the second link having streams made by others. The "whatsnew" page's categories are a little "Magoo" but we wanted to get the point across. Anyway, it's an interesting insight, one I've noticed too (but I thought I was just weird :) ).
