1. “river of news” – simply put all those feeds in a single folder and minimize it. Then, just click the folder to read these feeds. It should function the same way as your Feedblend

2. GR’s expanded view is great for sites like LH and Consumerist that produce 1 or 2 posts per hour. As you scroll through them (as quickly as you can), they’re marked as read and will be removed when you refresh. No clicking necessary!

They produce a huge amount of stuff that I almost always skip over. Yes I should unsubscribe, but when I do I always come back so I can see that one really cool gadget I just need as soon as it is available. I also wanted to point a couple of thumbs up for FeedDemon as a Windows based rss feed reader. It is not free, but it is well (and actively) developed. People should check it out if they are interested in a Windows application for a reader. Good article as always. Engadget is the big junk feed for me.

I'm a Google Reader fan and have a bunch of general "news" feeds that always pile up. Typically, I just skim the headlines to see what's new, but it would be nice to combine them into a single feed. Same with feeds like Lifehacker and Lifehack that produce some great content, but in such volumes that it becomes quickly overwhelming. Thanks for the tips! Scott Excellent advice as usual, Brett.
