Google Reader down to zero
Yes, I finally managed to “read” everything in my Google Reader. Truth be told, there was a lot of skimming involved as well as judicious use of the “Mark all as read” button. My feed count is down from 300+ to 267. My target right now is 250 and that should be fairly easily reached in the next week or two. Now that I’m caught up on all my feeds, it will be easier to determine which ones are worth keeping and which can be dumped.
I’m also noticing some subtle shifts in my reading habits. I used to read mostly blogs about Web development, open source, SEO, and blogging. I still read a lot of those, but I’ve dumped several of them to make way for new interests like business, domaining, and new media. The new media category is sort of a catch-all for blogs about newspapers trying to survive in the digital age. Seeing as how I now work for a newspaper, I’ve taken a particular interest in the topic lately. I’m actually planning to make it a focus on this blog along with Web development, open source, and Africa. I have an idea for tying all those together that I’m starting to explore, but the details of that particular venture will have to wait for another day.
So have your blog reading habits shifted at all recently?
