"plan to do better next time"! *sigh* :-\ Well, so far it hasn't happened very often, so it's not been too bad. But I gotta get a plan. I suppose the Triage approach is the only sensible one.

Well, so far it hasn’t happened very often, so it’s not been too bad. But I gotta get a plan.

I suppose the Triage approach is the only sensible one.

Just not enough hours in the day. Best I can do is skim and catch the highlights. And of course, I'll once again decide to do better in the future - lol Since I’m actually working through an incredible backlog of feeds, I can tell you there’s no way to attend to them all.

Hey, I like that word, "blogilogical". Why not get that one into Wikipedia and establish your claim to fame forever! :-D Yeah, I’ve never formally identified a “top 10″ folder in Google Reader, but maybe I should…

Maybe I'll put together a top 10 list after all. And Bob, it is strange that we seem to be on the same blogilogical clock, but I am not living inside your computer as far as I know. :) I’m really having trouble plowing through all my feeds this morning - too many good ones.

I'm really liking this idea of creating a top 10 folder in my bloglines. That might make things more manageable! Incidentally, sorry I've not popped round recently. I've also been busy busy busy, as I had a deadline for a thesis chapter for today. Fraught is not the word to describe this last week! Hope your life has settled down a little now!

You have a lot more feeds than I do, so I can only imagine how many posts you might end up reviewing. So far I've managed to keep mine around 50 or so. I don't subscribe by email to anything - my inbox is cluttered enough already. Thanks for chiming in, my friend! Jacob, that certainly sounds like a plan.

I give myself a time e.g. 1 hour and browse titles, only pausing to click and read or 'star' items for later reading. GReader has a terrific trends meter which can give you an idea of which blogs you're subscribed to but never read and can thus be removed. Anything left after the dedicated time slot gets Mark All As Read. For the 2-3 blogs I absolutely can't miss, they're email subscriptions. I use Google Reader to manage about 200 feeds.
