RSS bloat

Posted by: Dave In: Productivity |Web

It’s dawned on me that I can’t possibly keep up with all the RSS feeds in my Google Reader. I subscribe to 192 feeds. The refresh rate on them varies from multiple times a day (Lifehacker=16 posts per day) to maybe once a month. My account looks like someone shoved a grenade into a watermelon and stepped back.

I hope to have my list trimmed down to a manageable 100 and divided into some categories that make sense. Here is my proposed category list:

Apple, Entertainment, Colorado, Design, Development, Photography, Productivity, Podcasts, Interesting People, Gadgetry, Humor, Industry News

That about covers it.

PS – I got the following message from my google reader today: From your  192 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 3,991 items, starred 0 items, and shared 0 items.

Check out the movie “Serenity” sometime. You’re becoming Mr. Universe!

[...] wrote previously about my rss bloat of 192 subscriptions in google reader. I made the first pass at reducing that number today and came up with 132 [...]
