As much as I love reading things on Google Reader, there are just some feeds that had to go. Over the last several days I’ve been weeding out some feeds that I no longer find useful or who were just plain getting on my nerves.

Here’s how I use Google reader: I subscribe to a bunch of blogs, websites, and news sites with stuff that I like. During my morning routine I read through these articles with the goal of getting my balance down to “0.” The problem was that each morning I was starting with about 200… and that was simply more than I wanted to sort through. In fact, there were some that I noticed I stopped reading altogether and just “marked all as read.”

So, who got cut? No one that I personally know. But feeds that were sending 10-30 articles per day… they had to go. Feeds that sent 3-10 per day but all of them required me to click on their link to see the whole article… they had to go.  Feeds that send out a lot of articles that are good, but will get picked up and re-released by Boing Boing had to go.

What was the result? I’m down to about 70ish posts to read in the morning. That’s much more manageable.
