Back on the Google Reader horse

I'm back to my old tricks, after about a week-long moratorium on Google Reader.  It was brutal, but interesting to get a little perspective.  Now, I'm back to adding feeds to my gReader, BUT, I'm doing it a little differently.

For one, EVERY feed gets organized into a folder upon getting added.  For two, my folder structure is slightly more well defined.  I've got my always.comics folder, always.peopleiknow, always.peopleidontknow, and even sub-sub folders like always.pictures.cute, always.pictures.funny, etc.  Then there are the trial.programmers, trial.funny, to see if these guys are any good.  So far, so good.

What's scary is that in just a few days I'm already back up to 44 feeds, divided up into 14 folders.  The volume so far is manageable, at least, aside from Hacker News, which, at 725 posts per week (100/day, 4/hour, 1 every 15 minutes!!!) is a little bit insane.  What's worse is that a solid majority of the posts on HN are interesting and/or worth a read through.  Time sink, back in action.
