I’ve divided up my feeds into categories. I tried doing it by frequency like you have, but I always just assumed that the rarely and sometimes stuff can be ignored. I never read them. So, I deleted them.

I now have things split up according to topic. My focus shifts from week-to-week depending upon my work duties (which are quite varied) and what’s going on personally. For instance, I have a folder with all feeds from people I’ve met at the CWSA, one for “Fun & Entertainment”, one for Web Design/Development, and one for System Administration.

I tried to use Google Reader, but I just can’t. I like being able to handle my feed posts as e-mails. I use Viena, which is free and opensource. However, I don’t get to see the site design. I like it because I can quickly scan the titles and delete whatever I don’t want to read.

Anyway, I guess if you find the secret, you’ll have to let us all know what it is!

I also rely heavily onthe lazy web. Meaning if someone writes a stellar article somewhere, at least one of my must reads will link to it and I’ll find it. It’s not perfect but I’ve yet to be overwhelmed with unread stuff like I keeping other people saying they are.

I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while, I really prefer reading in a site than through a feedreader as the author intended it to be read (like you mentioned).

I also have a set pattern of what sites I read in a particular order and when every day, but we won’t get into my obsessiveness
