Some good advice. I use the Mac’s Mail RSS reader which simplifies posts. Less is more. I’s say your top 14 dailies is more or less spot on – some more graphics sites on mine. I’d probably add Woork, Queness, Mac App Deals to my daily dose.

@Kevin

“Usability Fail #1: Making a list consisting of 419 items”

When you need to search for information in your feed reader, the more you have, the better.

“Usability Fail #2: Admitting that only 14 are any good”

I never said that! I said you should choose 10 to 20 feeds, out of all the awesome blogs you follow.

“Usability Fail #3:equiring the user to download a separate file and view in another application to see what the list is. ”

Well, maybe I should have written a few blogs directly inside the post. But the main point was to share my OPML file + tips on how to organize your feed reading habits.

I hope you enjoy next article more :)

“For people who want to build better websites”
Usability Fail #1: Making a list consisting of 419 items
Usability Fail #2: Admitting that only 14 are any good, and another 12 are semi-worth it
Usability Fail #3: Requiring the user to download a separate file and view in another application to see what the list is.

Great article – very simple and short, but so true! I am using that way of thinking already, but really I should separate everything in appropriate sections as well! Thanks a lot!

I’m going through the same process right now but on Twitter, luckily the new list feature has simplified things and I’m doing something really similar – with a top list that I check every day and a couple of other lists that I like to have as a backup.

Thanks for packaging up your resources, whenever I feel the need to “get informed” I start trawling for great sites to add to my RSS reader – but simply copying someone who’s been through the pain of that is much simpler.
