This is such an amazing tip! I found that there is a reading trend section on the web with Google Reader as well, and it will show me the top 10 (or 20 or 40) most read blogs for me.

Do you read the news via RSS? Or do you have a summary site?

This helped me create my “popular” feeds folder. I only read the “extra” feeds when I have time.

Consider creating a weekend / iPad feed for longer stories and image rich feeds.

General consideration to save time and focus better: forget the daily news, only read weekly highlights and background articles.
