Public Sticky notes

Don't be afraid of too much information. Embrace it. Revel in it. But wrangle it like cattle to make it truly work for you

* The Core Philosophy: Google Reader is a database and a feed reader * Continually add tons of feeds in organized, methodical way * Establish a taxonomy that makes retrieval and sharing easy using on-the-fly tagging * Annotate your data by connecting Reader to Gmail or Blogger * Putting it all together - sorting, searching and sharing

Continually add tons of feeds in organized, methodical way

Second, I encourage you to throw as many feeds as you can at the Google Reader just so you can capture and mine it. This should include relevant feeds that you never have any intention of reading or even scanning. For example, I subscribe to high volume streams like Twitter timelines, AP news syndicates, various digg feeds and more. These generate a torrent of posts but I don't let them get in my way. The key is to add them to a special folder that is separate from other feeds that you actually read or scan. This way, with a click of a button you can clear these items but still cache 'em. However, the great news is that you can always go back and search and/or retrieve them later, as you can see below.

For those feeds you do want to read or scan, I would also suggest filing them away by context as Daniel Miessler recommends here. The great thing that Google Reader does is a allow feeds to sit in multiple folders. This allows me to store some feeds in a "mobile" folder that I have bookmarked on my mobile phone, even as they also reside in a "blogs" folder. Set up folders by context - including computers, contexts (online/offline/etc) and devices.
