I use RSS reader to follow updates from my favorite sites. When I subscribed for the first time, I just loved those sites. I found them useful. But, right now I am thinking of re-organizing my subscriptions. Even the feedreader — I use Google Reader — has ability to keep the headlines, I don’t think that I can follow them all. I tried, and I was failed.
I ask myself about those feeds:
- Do I need them? I mean, I really need to read those updates?
- If I do not subscribe to those feeds, will I get impact? I mean, my work, my job, etc.
- Do I need to subscribe to multiple feeds having similar contents?
- Can I get updates using other methods? For example, having combined feeds using Yahoo! Pipes or RSS Mixer so that I only need to read contents I really need?
Those are some reasons. Right now, I review my subscriptions. Will delete some.
