Second thoughts on RSS
31 01 2010OK, so back in July I posted my praises of Google Reader and RSS technology. Today however, I’m not so sure. I’ve been without Internet for a couple of weeks, and look at my Google Reader:
Over 1000 stories for me to look at…I’m never going to have the time!
Yeah, I know the feeling. I get about 600 new items a day. A lot of the feeds I’m signed up to are only on the off chance that I see something interesting.. I tend to know where the worthwhile news is so I seek it out and ignore the rest. I use “Mark all as read” a lot.
That’s what the “Mark all as read” button is for!
(You can also mark all items older than X days as read if you want to keep items a day or two old unread).
