I have been thinking about using Google Reader as it seems the easiest to use and easy since I have gmail. Its going to take some time to memorize the shortcuts, but I think that will help tremendously. @sarah I like your "essential" and "non-essential" idea. I know GR has the stars things as well. I usually use that as a reminder that I want to go back and read the whole post. The problem then becomes making time to sort through those and not get backlogged.

Tools are important, but I'd argue it's more important to choose content extremely carefully, keep your number of sources (feeds) low, and get efficient and processing them. There should at most be two categories: Actionable and non-actionable. The former you process daily or so, just like any other inbox. The latter to process opportunistically, and you should feel no remorse at clicking "Mark All Read" when there are too many. Thanks for the tips.

It's great, i never have to go to each invidual site to read my favorite blogs. It all comes to me! This makes my schedule run smoother because I can quickly browse for posts im interested in rather than spend the day surfing blogs. I highly suggest it. ~Steve I too use Wizz Rss.

I've used other RSS feed readers before but what I like about this one in particular is that it lists your feeds per site. Now each post per site is given a green button if you haven't read it or a red button if you have. You don't even have to click on the post link because it gives you a preview of the post and picture before hand. Works great... paul i personally use Wizz RSS which is an extension for firefox.
