Not that you can tell from my blogroll, but I subscribe to about 240 feeds. (by “about” I mean “exactly 240 feeds”). I love having lots of news, but lately clearing out my aggregator has seemed more like a chore than a joy.
I didn't use a computer at home for two days, and I have abount 400 unread items (by “about” I mean “I think it's 400 but it may be anywhere from 73 to 931, inclusive”). Will I read all of these? not a chance. I'll probably miss something cool.
Is 240 feeds too many for a person who doesn't read at work? Reading all of these, sometimes I feel like my day is shorter than everyone else, or that normal people don't need 17 hours of sleep a day*. Am I crazy?
* I actually only get 5-7 hours a day. But I'd take 17 if I could get it.
