Sorry for joining the conversation late, but I have been trying to do some pruning on Bloglines myself. What I find a pain is that it takes so long to delete and move feeds usnig the interface. Maybe I’m just not doing something right. I have managed to cut back quite a bit, but as my situation changes and I am soon going to be located on one machine, I am seriously considering moving to a desktop RSS solution. I love Bloglines for usage, but housekeeping is just – ARGH!

Just me? Probably. Maybe they need a bit of AJAX magic at some point.

I’m not reading more blogs than Jeremy Wright. The day I say I read more, is the day I switch jobs

Devin: Yeah, while I’ve dropped 80% of my feed reading, I don’t actually feel like I’m missing out on anything. Maybe it’s because I use Techmeme (www.techmeme.com) to let the interesting stuff float up, so that mostly my blog reading is “need to know” / “want to know” type stuff… Instead of “might need to possibly know”.

I had this same realization a little bit ago. I also realized that my reading style and writing style were hypocritical. I started unsubscribing. I especially appreciate the 'circle-jerk' comment. Besides, if something really good was posted out there I'm sure someone else would eventually link to it. Interesting though that I subscribed to most of my first-ever feeds by browsing through your Bloglines subscriptions.

Ah, you speak my language Jeremy. Something about ‘blogging about blogging’ always makes me angry. Yet I can talk on it no prob, and even enjoy it.

I think it’s because, while I can praise everything blogging can do for your business, for your personal profile, and for niche categories, I really cannot think of blogging as a niche in itself (although it appears to be!)
