Bloglines Spring Cleaning

Posted by Peter Ford in UncategorizedApr 23rd, 2006 | No Comments

Will Richardson writes about his decision to make more time by spring-cleaning his Bloglines account and culling fifty news-feeds. I’ve wrestled with my Bloglines account for some time, wanting to reorganise it and ensure that it was customised for my needs and not just a series of echoes in my personally-created edu-blogging echo-chamber.

As a result, I decided to just delete all the feeds with a view to building a new portfolio over the next months that is a more effective reflection of my day-to-day interests. Many of the feeds I have deleted will probably reappear in my Bloglines account but it feels quite refreshing to have wiped the slate clean. There are probably a few other slates that I want to clear as well – probably starting with my del.icio.us account.

A number of people have already told me how they couldn’t live without their Bloglines feeds. Get a life! Those people should really consider drastic rss spring-cleaning or alternatively, I can supply the address of a good therapist ;-)
