Nuking Google Reader subscriptions

I realized about a week ago that I hadn’t actually taken a look at Google Reader for about 2 or 3 weeks, and I hadn’t really missed it. For the most part I had been either finding interesting blog posts or other things to read via twitter, or I went to check out the blog for a few people that were usually pretty good reads (just like in the old, pre-RSS reader days). I started wondering if part of the problem in Google Reader was its signal to noise ratio. Over the years I had subscribed to so many things that were interesting at the time, but have since faded from interest.

So it was time for a little creative destruction.Out with the old and in with the … well, probably still some old ones but I’ll be interested to see how it reforms itself. (I think Jen did the same thing a while ago) There will be a few automatics (my colleagues in the EdTech Posse are top of the list) but I’m going to try to keep them to a minimum. I’m open for suggestions of interesting feeds to keep up with. I’ll encourage you to pimp your own blog – if you’re reading this then I will probably interested in reading your blog too!
