A Definitive Moment

Clearing the Decks

“Alas, poor RSS feeds, I knew you well…”

It finally happened.

I reached that moment in my life where I just had to give in.

I succumbed to the pressure.

I virtually threw in the towel.

I used the “Delete All Items” button on my Google Reader for the first ever at 3 am today.

Who knows how many incredibly important items I flushed down the drain to go forever unread?    I am in a strange sort of vague anguish over this decision.

How will I ever know the unknown consequences?

I am a fool for Google Reader and RSS Feeds

Okay, I am being overly dramatic, but c’mon I read a lot of stuff via RSS every day.

Seriously, a LOT of stuff:

From your 629 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 29,389 items, starred 58 items, shared 1,078 items, and emailed 20 items.

It is kind of liberating to read  “All Items” has no unread items on the screen of my G1 though.  I think the patient may live!
