Resetting My RSS Feeds – Refreshing My Addiction
June 2nd, 2008 by (jeff)isageek

Over the weekend my friends Corvida and J. Phil devised a plan to reset their rss feeds and purge some of the excess feeds they had lying around….I have to admit I was having the same issue.

So with that said this morning I decided to join the revolution, purge all my feeds from google reader, and restart my rss addiction. I have to say it was a pretty nice feeling to have a clean slate to start with.

So now where do I go from here? What do I add back? Well to start I have added feeds from Readburner, RSSmeme, and of course I have all my shared feeds from people using google reader. I am also using the yahoo pipe for my friendfeed feed w/o twitter….so I ask myself do I need anything else to follow the web? You know I am not sure…throw twitter into the mix and I might have all the feeds I need to keep me happy…but I am sure like I said having an addiction to rss I will find myself adding more feeds in the coming days but for the most part I hope the purge has helped me get rid of some of the feeds I probably was not even checking out on a monthly basis.

What do you think of the concept? Do you think you might do the same? What are you gonna subscribe back to once you purge everything? Lets discuss or disqus.

[note: make sure you follow me on toluu to find out which feeds I end up adding back to my rss 2.0]




  • Welcome to the RSS reset project, Jeff! Looking forward to seeing what you add via Toluu!

    Also, I noticed that you left out which (if any) smaller blogs you are going to add back in. Remember that (if you play by the rules) you have an unlimited allowance to add sub-200-reader blogs!
  • I think you're spot on ... if my day job wasn't editor of a blog that attempts to cover just about everything new on the Web, I'd probably do the same - In Google Reader, subscribe to ReadBurner Climbing (of course), RSSMeme, TechMeme, some shared items, and perhaps a few Digg/Reddit feeds.

    Mistake comment. Can't delete it.

    I took your lead and did the same. I'm finding it really refreshing. Of course, I kept your rss feed, as well as about 30 others, but I dropped around 100. Great idea, man.
