“There seems to be a trend lately of posts regarding RSS overload. A lot of people are complaining about being overwhelmed with their Google Reader, and some are even advising for you to stop using your RSS reader altogether. I say, hogwash. Do something about it and take back your Google Reader. Now is the time to reclaim it.”

In my opinion…
I fully agree with Louis Gray. RSS readers require organization. Many readers offer ways to filter feeds. Personally I use NetNewsWire (the stand-alone RSS application from Newsgator for Mac users) and I really like their Smart Lists, a way to filter RSS feeds based on lists of keywords that need to appear somewhere in the feed. FeedDemon (the Windows version from Newsgator) offers this feature too – they call them ‘watches’ –, like many others. Unfortunately, Google Reader doesn’t.
