To try and make my life easier I recently purchased Feverº and absolutely love it! It lets me set Kindling for feeds I must read and Sparks for feeds that I kind of want to keep track of. Both these categories add to the Hot list. Basically Feverº works out how popular a news item is by the Kindling and Sparks items and how many links they have.

So rather than having everything in Kindling I’ve slowly been moving the high volume low value feeds to Sparks.

My hope is rather than an hour + per day I can limit RSS reading to 5 minutes yet still feel like I’m not missing something.
