shadownight, that used to be how I had NewsFire set up – this new workflow works well for me.

Cheers for the tips! I’m guessing I’ve got about 200 feeds in my newsreader and a clean up is definitely in order.

One of the problems I find with having so many feeds is that I end up reading the same stories three or four times a day. This is particularly annoying if I’m just wanting a quick update.

Maybe a new feature for newsreaders could be the ability to tag your feeds with certain levels of importance, that way you could just keep them organised in their current groups but also by importance when you need to.

Just a thought.

Interesting tip about grouping feeds by importance… Mine are grouped by category (Apple News, Blogs, etc.), but I think I’l switch to Importance groups.

Try and keep the essentials. Then simply accept we can’t read all feeds. Tips and tricks sites are best referenced and searched later when we need that solution. That’s what I did with Lifehacker and some other good sites.

I’m currently tracking 160, but they’re organized in importance folders. Some of them aren’t blogs but notify me of this and that – but I’m handeling it all pretty good since I organized it.

The 3 steps are a little too obvious to be a good article. Blog readers really do not need tips on how to read blogs.

I need to cut down myself, at the moment I’ve got 182 blog feeds, and overall about 300 feeds.

Good tips, I don’t have much trouble, I only have a couple dozen feeds in NewsFire, but I always decide to remove blogs that post several times a day. It’s unnecessary and it ends up being a waste of time.

I only have about 75 feeds, so it’s not a huge deal. Whenever I’m about to unsubscribe from one, that feed publishes a post that makes me think that it’s good enough to keep around in my Newsfire.

I track 232 RSS feeds, or at least I try to track them. I cut down from about 300 hundred but I have them organized into their categories.

I also just switched feed readers from NetNewsWire to Newsfire…and I haven’t looked back since.
