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
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.
