 This is a Python script run as a cronjob to read the TechCrunch article feed,

 and decide which articles to include in its own feed.

+## The Problem
9
+
10
+TechCrunch was a great blog about innovation and entrepreneurship. As it grew, 
11
+it published more articles than I cared to read. Like many savvy blog readers, 
12
+I used a feed reader to present the latest articles to me, but TechCrunch was 
13
+simply too profuse.
14
+
15
+## The Solution
16
+
17
+I created a service that'd visit TechCrunch's feed, and make note of who made 
18
+which articles, what the articles were about, how many comments each article 
19
+had, and how many Diggs2, Facebook likes and Facebook shares each article had.
20
+
21
+With that data, the service would determine the median, mean, standard 
22
+deviation, and create a minimum threshold for whether the article merited 
23
+being seen by me.

+
25
+I go into deeper detail in this [blog post about it](http://david.dlma.com/blog/my-techcrunch-feed-filter).
