I too need to clean out my google reader, but I am only week behind. Thanks for reminding me.

Meh, I was like that, but a lot of the feeds I read made me depressed. Much happier now

if I feel I have too many feeds I just mark them all as read. I just like to have them there in case I need something to read.

Hi Ben,

I already subscribe to your blog , and yes I do use folders. But now I’m using them more efficiently! With an “Important Stuff” folder for all my support requests, it makes my life a lot easier now.

Do you use Google Reader, and do you use folders? That’s a good way to keep track of lots of feeds. I don’t subscribe to a lot of blogs anymore and I found much the same as you when cleaning out the old blogs – so many have died completely.

As for why my blog is worth subscribing to… well, how about 10 reasons?
1. I sometimes look at the same topics as everyone else, but with a different perspective.
2. I only post once a week, so I won’t flood your feed reader.
3. Every post is a top 10 list, so it’s easy to read.
4. There are loads of old posts if you get bored.
5. It’s by me!

OK so I only thought of 5 reasons, but that’s probably enough

That’s one of the things I’m trying to get right! I used to be great, and my blog was better because of it.

Now I’m struggling!

I’m cleaning out my feed reader regularly trying to avoid all the crap. It’s hard though. Soon we all will just read instead of interact. Crazy.

Read mine – because like, we’re almost brothers! Ahahahaha – and I update about various random things: not so much drunken stories anymore. I’ve settled. For now. But it would seriously only take about 20-30 seconds to get through it .

My Google Reader mostly fills up with icanhascheezburger, ihasahotdog, failblog, graphjam, TUAW, Appleinsider, Official F1 and some SEO stuff (which I read sometimes).
