Do you clean your rss feeds?
Monday, December 28th, 2009On Thursday, I asked you to suggest new blogs for me to read in 2010. Of course, adding new always makes me think of cleaning old. Which led me to thinking about cleaning out old posts from my rss reader (which I hadn’t done in months!) Before I started my business, when I had actual time at the end of the a month, I would go through all my feeds and clean house. I didn’t delete any until then, since going back through them a second time will sometimes trigger blog posts (like a guitar center branding strategy?) and I would hate to have deleted the content and tried to find it again.
Now that the end of the month is a little crazy, I have slacked on cleaning out feeds…so I decided to play catch up and clean them out, starting my year fresh. While I was doing that, I stumbled across 4 posts I had bookmarked to share, and never did…
Steve Woodruff talks about “Plodding” (I promise, it is nowhere as weird as it sounds)
Jon Buscall tells us why girls rule (blogging that is!)
Brad Marley talks Tiger PR (c’mon, I had to include at least one thing Tiger!)
Ari doesn’t think lots of followers is a reason to follow Copyblogger (I don’t either)
And that is exactly why I need to stay on top of cleaning! Had I been checking the feeds, clearing out old posts, and looking for gems, I would have shared these sooner (like when they came out!). But, you’ll just have to settle with seeing them now…
When you read a post from your rss feeds, what do you do with it? Save it? Delete it? Save some, delete others? How often? What reason do you have for keeping them?
