To all of you information addicts out there - I was wondering how much information can you take.
At the moment I have 104 active subscriptions on my google reader, mostly development stuff, and I can barely keep up. I do not really read all the stuff that gets posted - I scan with my eyes and if my fast forward algorithm gets some keyword I am interested in I go back and read.
What about you? How many Development feeds can you follow (assuming you get your day-job done)?
I've got half a dozen and that suffices. There's only so much I can get done in a day between StackOverflow, development feeds and work and still have enough of a life for my wife and baby girl.
I am currently only following six of them, any more than that and my morning "come-in, get coffee, read email" session would get extremely too long, and someone might notice!
How many feed can I follow? Depends on the level.
I probably have around the same amount of feeds, 100 or so, including some aggregate feeds such as CodeBetter.Com and Los Techies. I skim read like you do, and anything that looks important, but not immediately useful gets bookmarked and tagged in del.icio.us, although there's a few feeds I tend to read verbatim
Even though I'm very aware of it now I still spend too much time reading and not enough time 'doing', which ultimately tends to be more productive. Remember - information is not knowledge...
