One of the many RSS feeds that I read daily via Google Reader is Kotaku. a news source for games. However, their basic RSS feed only provided article titles and one line. I recently found out about their 'VIP' feed which provides the full article in the RSS feed, which is much easier to read, especially as I mostly view Google Reader using Gravity on my Nokia 5800. However, I've found that a lot of the articles aren't relevant or interesting to me (such as deals only available to people in the US, and the notes that the editors leave each other at the end of their shifts). So I wrote some code to filter out certain tags. For now this is hard-coded, so I have to add the tags manually in the PHP script, but if this gets too bothersome I may update it so I can pass the tags via the URL. But for now it works pretty well.
My customised feed can be found here.
