How many feeds do you regularly read, ggw?

I just bundle everything into the river-of-news. What’s the latest, and the newest holds my mind.

Categories is a good thing too – especially grouped by posting frequency.

Thanks for the great idea, Gleb, and for the additional info, Dawud. I’ve been feeling pretty overrun with my feeds recently… just can’t seem to keep up with them! This should help.

[...] Everyone I know uses RSS and solicits subscribers (including myself). Darren Rowse even has a series running that explains How To Make Your RSS Feeds Pop! and Gleb Reys of Perfect Blogger has a post today that gives an RSS Reading Productivity Tip on how to deal with a multitude of Feeds.

I do this already. Great idea to anyone who doesn’t. It really changed my productivity. One further thing I did, now that I’m watching about 300 feeds, is create three subfolders inside the category folders. I then ‘rank’ the blogs in the category folder into being either Tier 1 – must read blogs, Tier 2 – good blog, usually really good content, but not always or Tier 3 – have liked some posts, but they’re on the fringe of me unsubscribing. I make sure I read Tier 1 every day and often Tier 2. If I have time, I’ll peruse Tier 3 and if not, I usually just mark them all read. Then once-a-month I reorganize blogs between the three folders. This system works great for me.
