This week, I hit 500 subscriptions in Newsgator. Part of the reason is that I have started subscribing to individual feeds at the asp.net blogs. Why? Because I noticed I was always gettting 25 posts whenever Newsgator synched with them. That means I'm most likely missing some posts. That's fine, but not if those posts are from some of the people I want to track. So I started subscribing to individual feeds. I use the aggregated feed to find other individual feeds to subscribe to.

I get around 1500-2000 new posts per day, and so far, I've been able to keep up just fine. It takes roughly an hour or so to wade through them, and, to be honest, I don't read everything. Like Scoble's said before, you can scan the headline and determine if it's worth reading or not (hint, make sure you have good post titles). Most are either good for a glance, or I just skip it altogether. If I start seeing things repeat, in most cases, I can find a link back to the original post. The blogosphere is an oddly small community when it comes to that.

Anyway, I'm half way to Scobleville, at least on the reading side.
