Following on from the podcasts thread, I was wondering what RSS feeds everyone subscribes to?

Too many to list here, but some of the main sources that i have are:

TAB
bleedingedge.com.au (Aus tech blog)
MacOSX hints
Apple news
Macworld.com
playlistmag.com
Engadget
Crave
CNET news

Non tech stuff: Melbourne's best newspaper theage.com.au, BBC, Crikey.com.au, the Chaser (Aus satire), The onion

And Digg

There's reguarly 500-600 articles sitting in Vienna a day! Think I need to consolidate....

I have way to many to name them all. Being that I'm in 9rules, I have a lot of 9ruler friends that I read plus any design/development blogs that I find interesting along the way.

TAB, Kotaku, Joystiq, 4 Color Rebellion, Gizmodo, iusethis, Penny-Arcade, and some friends blogs. Maybe I should have more Mac stuff.

With all of those feeds, how do you ever have any chance to do anything except read what pops up in your RSS reader? I sometimes spend an hour or more just going through the 100 or so new posts in mine (mostly from Gizmodo or Kotaku). I'd die if I had any more (most likely).

I feel your pain Yuiichi - but what I decided to do was to focus my reading on certain topics. Instead of reading the entire digg feed, for example, I only pull the feeds of the categories I really want to follow. If I have some extra time, then I'll just go to the homepage and read the other stuff I missed. (but I never have time to do that).

Many sites will let you subscribe to category-specific feeds, which has helped me cut down the number of unread posts to a manageable amount.

A lot of my feeds only have about 1 entry a day. The most I have ever had in one day is a total of about 100. Usually, I have more like 40-70 new entries to read, which generally take me about 20 minutes.

Digg is the worst, new one about every minute, some good some bad.
