I didn't _start_ with 400+ feeds... Back in my NNW days, I think I was around 150-ish. It really took off when I switched to BB, since it's so much more efficient/effective at plowing through hundreds of new items. Star ratings on feeds are the killer feature.

I do have BlogBridge and used it recently for some of the custom searches, and agree that ability makes it extremely useful for targetted discovery. It seems you have developed a well honed system for how to organize, which might appear duanting at first, but most people are not going to try and consume 400 feeds! I do really like the built in del.icio.us tagging. Makes me want to go spend some more time back in BB (not Bb). Nice cast!

I was just consigering a switch from Vienna back to BlogBridge. The last time I used it, it was so slow that I just got fed up with it and went to Bloglines. Bloglines gave way to Vienna, and now that I am moving between multiple machines, I want them to sync up again, so I am going to give BlogBridge a try again. After watching your screencast and seeing all of the features that have been improved and polished since I last used it, I am even more excited about making the switch. Now I just need to get some work done before I start fiddling with it... How timely! I was just consigering a switch from Vienna back to BlogBridge.

I'm definitely going to check out BlogBridge. Looks like it might have exactly what I want. Hey, thanks so much for the screencast. I’m definitely going to check out BlogBridge.

The first of the edubloggers to pick up my "screencast how you cope with your news flow" gauntlet. Still waiting for cogdog to show us how he does it with Google Reader (and I should get off my duff too, I suppose). Seriously though, this is great; you may have a convert to BlogBridge here. And even if not, what's doubly important from my perspective is this starts to demonstrate *process* for newcomers; I really liked your approach of scan-gather-drill deeper, as this is quite in contrast to my own (where I get stuck into each piece of interest as I come across it and either write, forward, file or think on it on the spot). cheers, Scott.

Many moons ago I was reading one of your posts where you mentioned BlogBridge and I've been using it ever since. I liked how you showed how after the skim, you can pretty safely mark as read all the rest of your feeds. I tend to let these pile up, not trusting my SmartFeeds. Thanks for the tip!
