Digg - if it's good enough, it'll pop up somewhere else- a tweet, a friend. Let others do the work for you. /.- I just don't bother. Arguing on the internet.... :) Flickr - keep it to real friends- don't add someone who add's 50 photos a week- that's 1000 for 20 friends. Not worth it. Again, if it's good or important it will find you. Finally, check what you're subscribed to. BBC world news, tech, int, science, health AND sport? No one needs to know every story in the news. I did something amazing this week - I spent 20 seconds on the bbc news page. No trawling through the news stream, not reading snippets, and no loss of photos. Ditch news sites and just visit the homepage once a day.

The title picked my attention immediately.. I am exactly like what he says in here.. I too strive to achieve "Inbox zero" and "Reader Zero". I always have 1000+ unread items across 75 feeds. I would like to make one addition to this list in that you should do a MARK ALL AS READ as soon as you read a particular feed. This helps keep the total count of unread articles.
