It saves me tons of time. I think it is easy to waste you day by visiting multiple site and browsing than if you have everything in one place. I do however try to set a time limit to spend using my reader. And I do a lot of skimming. ---- <a href="http://austinhikeandbike.com" rel="nofollow">Austin Hike and Bike</a> I personally love my RSS reader. It saves me tons of time.

As a Flash Developer and entrepreneur, I have a lot of info to filter too. Maybe a solution to this problem doesn't exist yet. Anyone have an idea?! :) Thanks for the good read, but I still didn’t find a solution within the article! :( I too believe one should focus on a small number of blogs - and only if it is really worth loosing two days of every month in total, for reading them.
