Wow, what a terrific article. I agree wholeheartedly that twitter is a complimentary source and should not be the main source of info. You’d be relying on others to tell you whats relevant and cutting edge instead of you making that decision.

As someone that has had upwards of 300 RSS feeds going through Google Reader I’ve paired them down to 200 this month and would like to get down to a slim 150 before its all said.

As for twitter, I’ve quickly discerned that it really isn’t about the number of people you follow or follow you..it’s the quality of the information produced from these connections that should be the driving force

great write

Hey Jared – I actually have a very small sampling of blogs I check regularly, probably somewhere between 5-10 on any given day.

However, I am going to take your advice above and apply it to Twitter! A tool I enjoy using, but one that can be an all-consuming time suck (speaking from personal experience) if not used judiciously….

Have a terrific weekend!

Thanks Alexis, good luck with the fasting and purging! I hope this is helpful…and that it didn’t just lead me to losing a bunch of subscribers! (as the number of comments indicates ;-).

Thanks Jared– Very useful post (hence the reason your blog is one that I will not be unsubscribing from!).

During my cleanse at the end of the year, I set an intention of cleaning out one area of my life per day… one of which was my RSS feeds, website memberships, etc ! However, I found the task so daunting that I ended up avoiding it altogether (cleaned out my refrigerator instead– an entirely different experience when you are in the middle of a fast, but that’s a different story!)

I really do want to do some digital housecleaning though, so I think I’ll use your post as a model and give it another go.
