Feed Clerk

Small notes on RSS readers, feed hygiene and keeping up without drowning.

Pruning a feed list

Once a quarter I sort feeds by unread count and drop anything I have skipped for ninety days.

Tags are flexible, but folders force a decision, and the decision is the point.

Full-text versus summaries

Summaries keep the reader fast; full text keeps me honest about what I actually read.
