the world is your acorn

I’ve come to a crossroads. I simply can’t keep up with all the feeds in my reader. Sure, I have a folder named “kills” where I keep the feeds I’m happy to sacrifice and “mark as read” when I get really busy, but I just can’t put one of these into it. If I see there are new posts, I won’t be able to stop myself from looking at them. I think there’s about 80% overlap, so I waste all this time flipping through both feeds, but I don’t want to miss anything if something good turns up. So I’ve decided to unsubscribe from one. Which? Tastespotting was the original, and I think the pictures are more reliably food-pornolicious. Food Gawker has more posts a day, which means I’d be missing less, but the point here is to trim down my blog consumption. Do I go with Tastespotting, trusting that the editing there will meet my needs? Or do I stick with Food Gawker, because I’ll get more variety and there’s less chance I’ll miss out on a good post/recipe just because the author isn’t a great food photographer?
