The Bloglines Plumber Has No Idea ...

I read a lot of feeds for a lot of different projects.  I use two different readers - Google Reader and Bloglines - and have multiple accounts on each to manage projects.  There are a couple of reasons for that --

• Easy to manage multiple projects with lots of feeds - and I don't get distracted.  If I had better discipline, I might be able to do with folder organization.
• I train people on both RSS readers, so I like to keep my fluency on both.

I keep all my NpTech feeds (there's like 200 of them) in a bloglines account.   Bloglines experienced a major outage over the weekend according to TechCrunch which explains why I have chunks of my NpTech feeds missing and otherwise screwed up.  Ugh, it's time for me to come up with a new tool or switch everything to Google Reader, and perhaps rethink my work flow.

Anyone else out there read 500-1,000 feeds for different projects?  What tools/workflow do you use?  Well, off to export my OPML files from bloglines.

The NpTech Tag Summary will be coming shortly -- blame the plumber.

I use FeedDemon - so great! Doesn't crash on me like Google Reader does, and I can organize things easily.

Heh, I thought I was the only one who did that :)

My nonprofit, tech and general interest feeds are in Bloglines, my work feeds (Indigenous issues) are in Google Reader. Much easier to organise myself that way - same solution as you Beth - fewer distractions when trying to work!

All my feeds are in Bloglines (approx 800 and growing). I did not see any issue this weekend (or since) although I was not online much this weekend either.

I heavily use Google Reader for my information consumption and tracking.

I setup separate google accounts for each project to keep things separated...then I share between accounts.

With firefox add-ons I can switch between google accounts quickly. Plus I can give project level logins....or share...while maintaining my personal account as well.

My personal feed list is just barely 500...but come clients I maintain many more....and keep much data tagged for research.
