I see this morning there are 235 unread items in that folder.

I’ll be moving more, but that was a start.

I think there’s just too much information floating around in the world today, and what good does it do us?

As I twittered earlier, I’ve had the same experience. In fact, last night I simply did a “Mark all read” on most of my channels. It’s a nightmare if I go away for a couple of days, since the feeds seem to fill up so quickly. My own problem is that I subscribe to a lot of photo feeds intending just to flick through them… they fill up really quickly and I end up with hundreds of unread items in short order.

You’re right, it’s usually quite hard to miss things, since they crop up in multiple places.

I’ve also started to delete stale feeds; the ones I find myself marking “all read” on without clicking on a single item on a regular basis; and partial feeds, which annoy the heck out of me.

I also try to make more use of del.icio.us and Mister Wong now. I’ll quickly mark stuff for future reference using those, rather than leaving them unread in my feedreader.
