It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of blogs out there - how do you handle information overload and how do you think RSS might help with that?
Actually I have been using Netvibes to handle RSS feeds for close to a year now. I like how I have control over when I choose to visit my site and check on the latest additions. Having ezine subscriptions doesn’t allow that and soon I find my email inbox has become unmanageable. I get overwhelmed and just delete the whole mess but then before I know it, my inbox is overflowing again! RSS feeds to a homesite definitely help in that respect.
Like the video said, it can become addicting so a word of caution. On my page I already have 4 tabs (same thing as folder in Bloglines?) and each tab has several feeds. It’s a lot of fun to check them and I can spend hours there when I’m not mindful of the time. I have learned that I don’t need to check it every day. I check in when time permits or if I am searching for something specific. Hmmm, that reminds me. I haven’t visited in a while. Maybe I better go check it now . . .

NetVibes is another good tool for organizing all your RSS feeds. The tabs are equivalent to Bloglines' folders.
