Information overload
It doesn't matter how you slice or dice it - 743 news feeds every day is just too much to digest. Just what the heck are you trying to do here? Maybe if you had the input jack in your neck that you could plug yourself in DIRECTLY to the news feed - you could handle that kind of bandwidth - but WHAT would you DO with that information? The "thirst for knowledge" becomes the "gurgle, gurgle, glub, glub" of information drowning.

Maybe it can't be done! Have you ever considered that? The limiting factor in the information highway is the human. Just how much can/should they take? As much as THEY can! Which means that engineering a solution for *everyone* just won't work.
