I can remember the time I used bloglines and had over 1000+ feeds. It got to be a chore—at the time I believed that I needed to read everything and set myself up for failure. Now I treat them as periodic inspiration and brain-fodder on-demand for whatever the hive-mind of the Internet has top-of-mind that day. With feeds roughly classified, I'm using Feedly as my "newspaper" of interesting things.

RSS may die, but the idea of a machine-readable subscription and notification system never will.
