I follow the river of news approach for RSS feeds. I have done for twenty-plus years. I ignore unread counts. On the other hand, there are few RSS feeds where I do want to read every one that comes in. I use folders to separate the must-read streams from the high-volume, read-whenever feeds.

So I’ve been cutting the apple into bite-sized pieces. And even though I don’t cook, I’ve gotten great at chopping, and also pretty good at not slicing open a finger.
