I think there was a similar discussion on dave winers blog some months ago. Yeah, I really think the point is not to bother reading it all.

Aggregators are great and actually I think that I will unsubscribe from most of the US tech blogs and just subscribe to the Techmeme feed. Oh, you have noticed the new header. :) It shows two of my Moleskines: one large ruled notebook and one pocket size ruled notebook. They are great: I have one at work, one in my bag, and those two ones at home.

Yeah, I was surprised that it were that much already. But, you know, I still subscribe to more feeds as we speak. I sure gonna surpass the 300 mark this week or the next. Anyway, I think it's mainly about finding a good way to manage your feeds. I like the netvibes-style for a quikc overview. I'll gonna use additionally a riverlike reader like greader for feeds I'd rate as secondary but I go through for my blog. yeah, using more than one reader might help. Also, you can subscribe but you don't have to read them all. Some time ago I came to conclusion that I don't care if I read everything or not. Like a daily newspaper there you don't read every article as well. Sometimes I have more than 400 unread articles on one tab in netvibes and I just click 'mark everything read'. That simple. :) Last not least aggregators like techmeme and the like help as well. One can actually unsubscribe to quite a lot of the english high profile techblogs because their most interesting topics appear on techmeme, tailrank etc. anyway. another good thing about these sites: they don't show you the amount of unread articles... ;) Oh and yeah I unsubscribe to feeds from time to time as well. Nice new header you have here btw. I love my moleskine. Couldn't live without one anymore. I gonna sue you, you bastard! hehehe
