The Dilemma of RSS +

One more victim of RSS:

I treat RSS with undeserving priority, and this causes two big problems: 1) I’ll stop whatever I’m doing to read, flag, or ‘mark as read’ all new RSS items as they come in, and 2) I’ll go to absurd lengths to ensure I have zero unread items whenever I walk away from a computer.

This compulsion has reached the point of being a real problem, and I’m finally taking steps to rectify it.

Back in the old days, when I still wrote on blogs about blogging, I suffered a major RSS burn out. My OPML list had reached the amazing and less tantalizing number of 800 entries, and every day I had to drag my back part to read. Reading, which once used to be a passion of mine.

Over the last days, I have carefully been adding feeds to my newsreader again. Even entries from the good old past.

Blogs written by pundits wannabe pundits, overly ethical and always according to the KIAKIB (Know It All, Know It Better) principle.

I might prefer to go down the snarky Gawker and Valleywag path.
