RSS reader

For a long time I've felt guilty for not being "caught up" with all the blog feeds in my RSS reader, but then about a week ago I changed my perspective and it was liberating.

My feed reader is really like a mailbox. In it come some things I like to read daily like a newspaper. These are the blogs whose voices and topics really resonate with me. Other feeds are more like weekly magazines. Still pretty interested, but I'm willing to be a few days to a week behind the conversations there. Then there are my monthly reads where there are sometimes some nuggets, but usually not more than one a week. These are like my monthly magazines. Sometimes they pile up, sometimes I'll tear through one.

I think I'd been thinking of unread posts the way I think of unread emails. Well, no more.
