My feed reader takes about 2 weeks to get up to 500 unread articles though heh, so I read it once a week and I'm unsubscribing from things that take too long to sort through with not much gain (making the signal/noise ratio better.) I have been thinking of doing something along the lines of what Rui Carmen has, which is a load of feeds, but then run through a bayesian sorter to filter out the items he doesn't want to see, and further increase the signal/noise ratio.
