I love Bloglines. I love RSS. But when life gets busy, information overload can occur seemingly in a heartbeat.

You know you've gotten far too behind in your Bloglines reading when you're consciously avoiding going there simply because you feel guilty about all the stuff you don't know about yet.

The reason I have 170 feeds is not only because I do not want 171 (oh, yes you do, chimes a little voice in my head) but because I actually feel every day like I need to know all this stuff. And then some.

For me, it's like a compulsion, and letting it get away from me is something that suffuses me with guilt.

Luckily, Bloglines has a solution for this, though this is the first time I've ever had to resort to it:

"Mark All Read"

That's right, I just trashed about 2 months' worth of Bloglines feeds. With luck I'll get back on track this week and never have to use that evil little link ever again.

Oh, the guilt. Oh, the humanity.

(Many thanks to all for the comments on Internet Business 101. Look for the first of what will likely be many posts over the coming weeks and months later this week.)
