Organizing Feeds in Google Reader

I spent a notable amount of time today re-tagging feeds in Google Reader… and not just for the heck of it.  I narrowed everything down into the following tags:

  • a-list
  • b-list
  • c-list
  • d-list
  • n-netflix
  • z-questionable

Why?  Because it works for my reading habits.   What defines an a-list item?  One I absolutely definitely must read.  It’s arbitrary based on my needs.  a-, b-, c-, and d-listers are based on relevance and importance.  The n-netflix label should be self explanatory… it’s my recommendation and new release feeds from Netflix.  The z-questionable tag is for those feeds I’m not sure if I should subscribe to or might be on their way out… it’s a “holding bin” and if the feed makes the cut, it’ll get reclassified.

Yes, I’m an organization dork.
