How to Hack RSS to Reduce Information Overload

There seems to be two forms of 'news' that unfortunately rss readers try to do both of them. The first is feeds from sites that update 20+ times a day and the second is that blog that updates once every three months. The first is just there to read if you have the free time while the second you always want to read every single one. You can create two wildly different user interface optimized for the two modes rather than what we have today which is the best of neither.

I use different folders for the two types (Non-pro and Firehose (and professional for lead sites))

I hit mark as read on the firehose and lead site ones all the time.

Yep that's why I use two different readers for the first and second use...
