More on RSS Feeds

So, I just took another look at my bloglines account, and realized something. I really need to unsubscribe to some of these. My favorite so far is the Hennepin County News since they don't seem to post too often. Dewey Mappings is definitely work related, and comes out weekly. But I don't think I've ever used it for any of my work. So I'm hard pressed to call it useful. And a lot of the other blogs in my folder of library related stuff haven't been touched. (Yes, I keep a lot of library relevant blogs in a separate folder. So what if Nichole set it up) I think those numbers showing hundreds of unread items is a bit of a deterrent. But maybe that's just me.

Of my recent finds, I just dumped the Motley Fool feeds, mainly because they were so prolific, but also because they were dealing with something (investing/personal finance) in a way that I'd probably never be able to comfortably use. (And it isn't work related.) I did keep the feed for Kiplinger's Personal Finance though, since they haven't added anything since I scrolled through their list of articles the first time. Not work related either, so I'll probably be tossing it at some point.

I'll be keeping the Wall Street Journal and New York Times feeds though. Again, these aren't so much work related, but I'm finding them to be informative. Quotes of the day is fast and fun so I'll hang on to it for a while. Joke of the day didn't make the cut. Neither did MAC OS X hints.

A lot of these were snagged from the directory of popular feeds that Bloglines maintains on their site And that's a really useful tool for us neophytes who are trying to get the hang of this stuff. Now that I've got my comfort level accomodated, I can start to add other sites that I stumble across.

Getting enough hours in the day to keep track of this stuff is going to be a whole other problem though.
