My outsourcing mainly comes by way of news- and information-gathering. Rather than pore through every headline in the New York Times or subscribe to the info-glut that is the del.icio.us popular page, I let bloggers like John Gruber and Dave Chartier (and his Infinite Loop friends) go through all the mounds of raw news and present me with the things I actually want to see. I subscribe to Reddit, but just the page that aggregates only the items that have reached the #1 spot to keep the volume down.

The trick here is to sample lots of content sources on the Internet and find the set which provides you with the most interesting information (to you) in the smallest acceptable number of posts per day. I currently read only 31 RSS feeds, and it's starting to look like a lot so I'll probably be pruning back soon (43 Folders isn't going anywhere, though!). There are plenty of people out there who publish on the Web, and if you can find a few who share just the sorts of things you like to know, you can trust them to weed out the mass of stuff you'll likely find unappealing.
