I like collecting articles for a personal magazine, and do it in a few ways:
#
Add things to Instapaper
#
Add things to Drummer with the bookmarklet
#
Star things in FeedWrangler and they go into a feed that I collect in NetNewsWire
#
Star things in NetNewsWire and they go into a list called Starred. This isn't exportable as a feed, but it can be "shared" to Mail.app, where it creates a list of all the items. This can then be pasted into Drummer for rearranging.
#
My new favorite place to have things end up is in Drummer, because I can organize them. Headings, categories, catalogs, projects, workflows. Tiago Forte's Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives.
#
The missing piece is this: the list I can paste in from NetNewsWire contains the top posts weeded from all the other sources, but it comes in the form of unclickable HTML addresses, line by line. What I'd love to get some help with is a script to turn each line into a Drummer clickable link, with the URL inserted into the URL attribute of the node. I can do it manually, but it's begging to be automated. Sadly, I don't know how to write such a script -- i fact, I haven't even got it clear in my head where such a script would live and how it would be invoked. A lot of ignorance going on.
