Google Reader

After having 5,000+ unread posts and never logging into my Google Reader, I decided to clean up my feeds after reading this excellent post by Eric.  As you can see, I’ve tiered off my folders with “tier 1″ being the blogs I enjoy reading.  After deleted some blogs off my list and organizing the ones that made the cut, I noticed that all the blogs I put in Tier 1 were blogs of my friends or people that I know personally.  And blogs that updated 920589407549 times a day were grouped into Tier 3 or the “news” folder.  So, here’s an idea for a tech entrepreneur to steal – create a service that gives me the best blog posts from all the blogs I read, and cut out the garbage.  There’s nothing worse than having thousands of unread blog posts. So, now that I cleaned up my Google Reader, and my “Tier 1″ folders is sitting pretty at ZERO, are there any feeds that you guys think I should add to my list?

    I didn’t notice this until today, but I’m quite happy to see myself in Tier 1. That’s very kind of you.

    Gotta do this as well. Nice tip.
