Ethan: nobody reads every feed. Mastering the ability to skim and pull out a few key phrases to determine the value of the article helps tons. A lot of times, a feed I'll have will only produce 1 nugget of goodness a day (or even week), so it's quick to get through them. I know other people think that's crazy, and just unsubscribe. Nuts to that I say.

@Mark I agree, not even I do that. lol

i'm at 80 and a neurotic trends checker and deleter of feeds.
- Ethan Winters
currently at 40, I weed out to only those that I read

Right now 433! I use Google reader, w/ better Google reader and filters to manage the madness.
- Steaprok
I skim over 132 feeds...Time to weed and replace some though.
- Shane Floyd
Only 108, but add more each day. Some tend to be very high volume, about 100 articles/hour.
- Vince DeGeorge
284, but it always 1000+ unread in reader, too lazy to delete sum
- alexdesigns
55 down from 150. Using more recommended/popular services like rssmeme, twitbuzz, readburner, delicious. Read percentage up while saving time.

I have about 550 but i organized into folders i.e. top sites, music, art/photography, tech...by the way, i think muhammad saleem said it to someone already, but remember - deleting or marking items as read does not accomplish anything so don't waste time with it. if i like an article on any site, i click that orange button and subscribe.

@jaybol I disagree. It does a lot for my state of mental well-being to see a folder cleaned out. ;)
- Cyndy
I'm a bit slack... I only have 96 in my reader at the moment.
- Martin Jamieson
@cyndy well i suppose if it helps your mental well-being then i will be the last one to tell you to stop :) i think i have too many feeds for that to be a worthwhile endeavor in google reader, but maybe other reader programs are easier to do that with and less time consuming
- jaybol
currently over 500 in my google reader. I also run the new app Snackr and have imported multiple OMPL files of feeds (including Scobles which can be found here - http://tinyurl.com/57d2ar ) and it gives me a relevant, recent and constant stream of info that I couldn't care less if I miss yet is still valuable!
