Unsubscribing to Engadget (and others) Taps Playing In The Background

Posted March 17th, 2008, in: Technology

Now that I have NetNewsWire going, and can finally really manage as many feeds as I want in a totally efficient way, I’m realizing that I need more specific focus for my information gathering.

Engadget, one of the best consumer electronics blogs out there (the other is probably CNET‘s) is getting laid off.  It’s just not relevant enough to me.

It’s Monday afternoon even after spending my usual hour or so reading and scanning, I still have 2988 headlines I have not even glanced at yet.

224 of those are from Engadget.  Sorry Engadget.  I’m just not, on a daily basis, that interested in

  • digital picture frames,
  • handsets
  • bigscreen TVs
  • every little detail about all gaming related products
  • the vast world of portable media players

Gotta trim the fat sometimes… Another likely candidate for the chopping block is digg.com’s technology feed…

I can’t help but think of Digg as more of a pastime than a news source, although nearly every time I get bored enough to actually spend any time there, I find something really interesting to me.
