Paul Buchheit asks "Do You Read All Your Feeds" in Google Reader or your RSS reader of choice? The stats can prove it if you do. (Re: http://friendfeed.com/paul...)
The trend is up and to the right in terms of items per day, but I'm still aiming for 100%.
- Louis Gray
reading on google reader and reading are different things. cant you just "j' through all you articles at blazing speed for the same effect?
- Frankie Warren
I'd like to see ANYONE else that reads 100% of 441 subcriptions :) Oh, btw.. 100% read means you scrolled through the post.. it doesn't mean you read it!
- Tim Hoeck
Yeah - I go through each one but I don't "read" each one.
- Jesse Stay
Who wants to do a comprehension test? Bring it.
- Louis Gray
and I'm *much* more likely to click on FriendFeed whereas I rarely click through the blog on Google Reader
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, that's true (but not this specific issue).
- Louis Gray
I browse headlines more than I actually read items.
- xero
xero, therefore you use Google Reader much like FriendFeed
- Jesse Stay
Louis, but to answer your question, I read 100% of my feeds. Personally, because I use FriendFeed for the important stuff, I subscribe to only a few in Google Reader, but I read all of them. I use FriendFeed for what I used to use Google Reader for.
- Jesse Stay
I read all of them but I only have about 50 subscriptions that produce about a total of a couple thousand posts a day. By "read" I mean I scan all the titles and mark the ones I like for later.
- Mike Smith
i think it's kinda funny that everyone a couple a months ago was claiming "rss is dead cause of friendfeed" and now that rss stats got diluted people are in a huff.
- Frankie Warren
I scan the titles, read the ones I find interesting. Share those I think others may find interesting. And mark the rest as read.
- Araceli
Frankie, I never said RSS was dead due to FriendFeed. I think RSS is great, and thanks to FriendFeed, I actually read more Google Reader than ever before.
- Louis Gray
Just more proof that Louis Gray is a robot.
- Mark Krynsky
well not you specifically :) i personally hardly check my google reader anymore... therefore the statistic that i follow you on friendfeed should be more meaningful to you than the statistic that im subscribed to your blog in reader.
- Frankie Warren
@louis dear lord, you read as much (or more) as the reader team :) and are insanely consistent. Inbox 0 anyone? I can read most of my stuff, but my trends are more erratic. Like, things will get busy on Reader for a little while and I'll get a backload. Reading everything every day seems, unattainable... and yet? :D
- Jenna Bilotta
i always forget people from google hang around these parts... :)
- Frankie Warren
I add a lot of feeds to reader so I can use reader to search them later
- Kevin Marks
@frankie don't worry, I'm not the Reader police. :) FriendFeed is totally solid. :)
- Jenna Bilotta
Jenna, I am more fanatical about Google Reader 0 than In Box 0. E-mail I can get to later. Great to see you here.
- Louis Gray
@louis i'm always here.. i just don't always comment... consider me your #1 lurker.
- Jenna Bilotta
LOL @Micah and Mark. Bot or not ? Louis Gray is a formidable filter for the landscape that he covers. Knowledge of analytic posts like this one and access to his shares in Google reader. Allow me to move comfortably move onto other topics and feeds deleting areas of Mr. Grays obvious expertise. Knowing that I will not miss relevant and interesting content located here since the Gray bot will filter these for me as a member of his community. :)
- Eric Logan
Most days, yes I read pretty much everything, but if I've been away for a few days and am looking at literally 1000's of unread items, then I'm very selective about which feeds get scanned before I hit the "Mark all as read" button.
- Paul OFlaherty
"From your 298 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 6,139 items, starred 8 items, shared 173 items, and emailed 0 items." i only subscribe to as much as i can read, baby.
