Keeping "fed"

Luke Hutteman (creator of SharpReader) writes:  "

One of the problems with using an RSS Aggregator is that it gives the illusion of allowing you to keep up with a practically infinite number of weblogs. Whenever you find a link to a new weblog with an interesting entry, the temptation is high to subscribe to this blog to keep up with other writings on it. After doing this for a while, you end up with a huge number of subscriptions and find that there is a limit to what you can keep up with after all, even when using an aggregator.

"

I struggle with this too.  My current solution is to add new blogs I find to a "New Finds" category within SharpReader, then as I read them, move them over to one of my other categories, things like "Absolute Favorites--read every day", "Very Cool People", "Misc. People", "Don't seem to keep up with".  And when my Unreads start getting too high, I delete one or two feeds from my "Don't seem to keep up with" category.
