I use NetNewsWire Lite to read various news sources, blogs and otherwise. It’s somewhat daunting to start my day’s reading (usually at night, like now) with a big red “211” on the Dock icon. That means 211 headlines unread, from my 51 subscriptions. I fire through most of them, opening Safari window after Safari window until I’ve knocked off all the unread items in NNW, and then I start reading/scanning open Safari windows. It doesn’t take that long, and I shouldn’t feel so compelled to go through it all, but I like knowing the pulse of this “loosely coupled community” (my phrasing). Clearly, lots of interest today… or lots of free time. 😉
