Trimming the feed

In the past I've been subscribed to way too many rss feeds, as I've come to realize. Over the last week I've slowly weeded many of the feeds out of my reader. The majority of these feeds disappeared because:

• There was nothing really captivating. They couldn't hold my attention. I'll admit that's pretty hard to do anyway - if it's not bright and shiny you're already operating at a deficit with me anyway.
• No boobs. Ok, it's not required, but it does hold my attention.
• Too many posts to weed through in order to find interesting stuff.
• It was a blog about blogging or a blog about blogging to make money. I mean, aren't there enough of these by now? And all they seem to do is regurgitate the same information over and over and over again.
• Blogs without personality. Very subjective, I know. But when I read a blog I want to be able to get to know the person behind it.
• Feeds that don't give me the content. If you're putting blurbs ( or excerpts ) in your feed, you can pretty much count on the fact that I unsubscribed. Don't force me to visit your site. Publish the whole post. Make it easy to enjoy your content.

I imagine there will be more to be banished to the circular file in the coming weeks. It was just taking too long to sort through what was interesting and what was not. I also realized I was reading very few feeds and skipping through the majority of them.
