The Bloglines account is a good idea but I was tempted at first to want to subscribe to so many different feeds. I had to weed out the feeds about cartoons and new urban legends- neither of those do I see myself following regularly. I think I'm starting to find that I need to focus on maybe 5-10blogs that I actually will read. Too much information sort of turned me off to the Bloglines for a bit and I got frustrated with it. I noticed a lot of the websites I tried to subscribe to were redirected to new sites. Bloglines may be in the process of upgrading their interface. I'm interested to see what they will change!

I agree with your view on this. I used to have an RSS aggregator that had about 30 different subscriptions, and if I failed to check up on it for a single day, I would end up with over 1000+ unread items within 24 hours! I've recently reset my subscriptions and only have about 12-15, and it is much more manageable, and more informative, as well.
ReplyDeleteYes, information overload is still possible, even with the RSS feeds and feedreader!
