I had to giggle when I opened Google Reader and like Scritty found Fiona Bradley's post on librariesinteract.info entitled
How to: Put your feeds on a diet. What amused me so much wasn't the feeds she suggested should be cut shamelessly but more the feeds she suggested keeping:
- Blogs with few subscribers - because you won’t be rereading their comments on everyone else’s blog
(okay, so there's hope for my blog and the wiki for the Stapler Liberation Front yet!)- Analytical, thoughtful blogs - they’re worth the time
(Flybrarian, this means your blog is OK?)- Blogs outside librarianship, or with a higher ratio of original content
(yay! I can keep reading those strange news items from the ABC News Offbeat feeds - like the one about the guy who rolled his car inside the KFC drive through)- Feeds you actually read, if you use Google Reader use the statistics feature to work out which you read the most
(this would limit my feeds to precisely... 3)
I guess ultimately putting my feeds on a diet is better than a diet of feeds
