#6 Make life "really cluttered" with RSS & a newsread...

I can see how RSS "saves time" by collecting info for you instead of you having to go around looking for it but then it takes it all back again if you actually intend to read it all. It's a bit like going to stocktaking sales where you go and buy piles of stuff you don't really need because it's discounted. I was feeling a bit uninspired at the time so I just said, Oh yeah, to a 'bundle' of feeds when I signed on to google reader and then poof! there were dozens of articles I couldn't be bothered scrolling through. Having said that I do think it is a good idea but you have to be quite selective if you are time poor and I assume that is why one uses RSS in the first place.
