Every cloud etc...

One of the advantages of dumping Newsfire (check out the story here) is that I now have to load a new set of RSS feeds into my desk-top reader (NNW) and that means thinking carefully about whether I still want all those links or whether I can just forget about some of them. I've got far too many (about 700) and it's utterly impossible to check them regularly (although Scoble reckons he checks about 600 a day) and, frankly, many of them are just not worth reading anyway. 

I've also got a second chance to start from scratch with meaningful folders and tags rather that the unorganized lists I have had up until now. But I'm a bookmarking nut and I hate to lose a potentially interesting site, so I fully expect to be back in the high hundreds before too long.

I must also check out some of the more efficient ways of focusing on relevant content. I know there are tools out there (I've seen them - Jeez I've probably got them bookmarked somewhere) it's just setting aside the time to set them up.  Good intentions and all that...
