Do you really watch 600 blogs in your reader? Easton,

Funny, you actually remind me of him a bit.

Do you really watch 600 blogs in your reader?

I categorize them in six ways to make reading easier... 1. Bloggers I personally know, I <em>read</em> daily 2. Bloggers whose content is so good I <em>read</em> them daily (like <a href="http://copyblogger.com">Copyblogger</a>) 3. Key phrase search results on topics in my niche - I <em>scan</em> daily 4. Bloggers in my niche who often have interesting views - I may <em>scan</em> daily, maybe not 5. Bloggers who are not in my niche who may sometimes have interesting views - I may <em>scan</em> daily, maybe not 6. New blogs I find that I want to watch - I <em>scan</em> every couple of days <ol></ol> I scan for topics in #1-3 everyday (about 100 blogs). The other three categories I scan if I have time or want to see what people are talking about. I've had as many as 300 blogs and as few as 90. This breakout seems to work really well for me. Using the folders in NetNewsWire (and in Google Reader) I can scan all the posts in a folder in one broad stroke. I can't imagine doing 600 though. Of course, I have kids too. Hannes,

I have 193 feeds currently in NetNewsWire. I categorize them in six ways to make reading easier…

1. Bloggers I personally know, I read daily
2. Bloggers whose content is so good I read them daily (like Copyblogger)
3. Key phrase search results on topics in my niche – I scan daily
4. Bloggers in my niche who often have interesting views – I may scan daily, maybe not
5. Bloggers who are not in my niche who may sometimes have interesting views – I may scan daily, maybe not
6. New blogs I find that I want to watch – I scan every couple of days

    I scan for topics in #1-3 everyday (about 100 blogs). The other three categories I scan if I have time or want to see what people are talking about. I’ve had as many as 300 blogs and as few as 90. This breakout seems to work really well for me. Using the folders in NetNewsWire (and in Google Reader) I can scan all the posts in a folder in one broad stroke.

    I can’t imagine doing 600 though. Of course, I have kids too.

I subscribe to over 40 feeds through Firefox Live Bookmarks but I don't check all of them every day. Maybe I'll use some of Scoble's tricks and then I can cover 10 times as many feeds :) Cool video.
