Here's a scenario that happens to me occasionally. Get a link to an article or comic or column or some other piece of content on the web which is just one part in an ongoing series. Like it. Start looking at other content. Like that too. Start to get fatigued after reading 5–10 of them. Leave. Forget. Never come back.
My idea is to generate a personalized subscription for each person who signs up. By default it starts at the first post and sends each one to you in email or via RSS with a frequency at least 2× greater than the typical publish frequency. It intersperses the new content in with the old, so you do get the freshest stuff. But you also get a scientifically measured amount of old content that keeps you engaged, informed and entertained without overwhelming you.
Go ahead and burgle this concept.
