As I sat at my PC at gone midnight last night, doing email catchup, reviewing comments to various blog posts and RSS feed scanning, I thought - this is ridiculous. I have various software tools that are supposed to help me be more productive and all I'm doing is spending more time on a never-attainable quest to actually be more productive. Take RSS feeds, for instance. An RSS aggregator is a great piece of software, a great tool that brings you things automatically that saves you lots of time so that you don't have to visit loads of different places out there on the net yourself. I did a quick count of what's in Marc Eisenstadt on email guilt trip). It's now clear what I must do - delete all the RSS channels and feeds that I don't get to, meaning I will likely end up with just the 6 channel groups I scan every day. Marc's post is the catalyst for this realization, so thanks Marc. The Spring clean starts this weekend. And by the way, the Get Real RSS feed is a full content feed, not an extract or headlines only. That's the smart way to publish and thus consume information in an RSS aggregator (this post as well). If it had not been full content, I wouldn't have read Marc's post (and it actually wouldn't have been in my aggregator in the first place). How are you managing zillions of feeds?
