Filter rss feeds with text analysis software. Just screening for passive voice alone will help. Ideally, it would be like FeedRinse, but I'd be able to rate the posts by percent of the crap I don't like. Perfect grammar is not necessary for transmitting good information, but in most cases good information and reasonable grammar go together.
There are more complicated issues. Obviously, I want to favor well thought out, longer posts. I also think there is an ideal ratio of text/links. Yes, I think the emphasis should be on the text! It would be great if the filter were interactive so that I could train it to understand my tastes.
I thought Google Gears might be an avenue to do this, because I could just get software to work against the database locally, but I'm wondering why I should download the stuff I don't want in the first place.
Oh well, I just wanted to put this out here, completely SE-Unoptimized, in the small hope somebody who actually knows how to do this might stumble upon it.
(They are also having trouble with categorizing stuff lately. What's up with the Food/Cooking tag lately? I don't know what you think that is, but dude, that's not food!)
