I had thousands of unread items in my RSS feed reader, so it was time
for an overhaul.

RSS rethinking:
– Get rid of time killers. Just bookmark them and visit whenever.
– RSS delivers information to you – pick stuff that you actually want to read.
– Use Instapaper to tag items you
will actually read.

Also, take a look at this this excellent article from digitizd.com about bookmarking.

Maybe the Google teams are just not getting along.
