Buckets, Context, Folders, Reading List, Potahtoes
As of this writing, I have at least 10 ‘buckets’ or reading lists for feeds: tech news, friends & family, podcasts, economics, feeds I’m test-driving, minnesota design blogs, ruby on rails programming blogs, my twitter feed, etc.
There’s somewhere around 300 feeds all together, but that number doesn’t mean much because I never see them all at once. I just see the whatever subset is in the river of news reading list/bucket I’m interested in at the moment.
Do I read all of them everyday? No. Nor do I feel any pressure to (i.e. aggregate unread count).
When I’m in the mood to see what’s new or important in any one of those buckets, I simply load up the url. If I stop looking, no harm, no foul. It’ll be there and the important stuff will keep bubbling to the top.
