I’m buried in RSS Feeds

Archived in the category: Useless Info
Posted by: Sara -

I’ve been swamped with work lately which is great but it has prevented me from keeping up with my blog readings so if I haven’t commented in a while.. my humblest apologies :D. I opened Google Reader this morning to see my list of blogs that I haven’t read and my jaw dropped. At this point I’m scared to start as it will take my a full day to read them. and if I skip them maybe i will miss something really cool or hurt a friends feelings. So, my choices are:

a. mark them all as read and start over
b. take 20 hours and read through them all
c. read only my friends
d. enter your option here

I don’t want to open my reader again as it will frighten me into a state of paralysis. What do you do when you are faced with this awful dilemma :)

I have 10 or so “must reads” but besides those, mark all as read, and hope I didn’t miss someone who might have posted the meaning of life.

I check for updates from a few choice sites, then mark all as read - I’ve done that a lot lately ;-)

BTW, Newsgator tells me I’m “Currently subscribed to 377 feeds”. Perhaps it’s time to have a clear out…

I usually click them all and start doing some scanning, if I see something i really want to read, I add a star. Then when I have time I go back and check the starred posts.

Then I just skim read the rest. :)

Sometimes I end up with more than 1000 posts I haven’t read. In that case I would quickly scan some of them and only read that looks REALLY interesting.

I should clean my subscription list as well.

Hi Sara, Sorry I didn’t get to meet you on Friday, are you up for a trip to Brussels in March some time? This could be week beginning the 5th of March? It would be good for you to meet the team and I can explain what we are doing and what we need to do… Simon
