Unsubscribe to EVERYTHING…Get your life back!
This is coming from a person who is subscribing to at least 25 business and personal blogs both. I set rules for myself just so I can be more productive. According to my rules, I am only allowed to check my email every 2 hours for 15 minutes each. It sucks because I can stay on my email for hours, literally. I love every single blog I am subscribed to (I subscribe to RSS Feeds by email only) and would love to read it because some of the events or advice I need to know right now. At least that’s what I believe.
So I was reading Viper Chill – cool blog, I must say and very helpful. I read the blog post “The Very First Thing You Should Do in 2010″ and the article improves managing my time online through Netvibes. According to Glen, “Netvibes is a custom homepage that allows you to customize thousands of modules to have an area online that is completely how you want it. I’ve tested countless alternatives such as iGoogle and have found nothing I prefer more over Netvibes.”
He made Netvibes appear so awesome and an ultimate one stop shop, so I had to sign up. Netvibes allow you to create separate tabs, so I create an IM RSS Feed tab (all my tips, advice and how-to blogs) and a personal RSS feed tab (for all my guilty pleasure blogs). I started to unsubscribe to every blog I was subscribed to by email and set up every single one of my RSS feeds on Netvibes. I love it so much; I completely cleaned my email account.
I love the way Netvibes set-up the RSS feed module so when I click on a post and I can read the entire post on my Netvibes site. I also use Netvibes for Twitter and my Face Book accounts. I need to have peace and tranquility in my life and this made it so much easier to achieve this.
To all of the sad, “Hate to see you go” emails, I haven’t gone anywhere, I am still with you learning and cracking up at everything you post.

I thought something like this was going on when I saw your unsubscribe notice. I agree with you, though, I hate subscribing to RSS through email. I use Google Reader, though, to manage my feeds.
But I’d like to let you know that my “hate to see you go” email was personal and not automated

Some good points, I spend too long looking at my reader sometimes.

I use google reader and feedly to handle feed subscriptions but sounds like I need to check out Netvibes, looks like you are very happy with it.

I love netvibes. The killer feature is the “website view” in the reader mode. It allows you to open the webpage within the reader pane. Good for the times when the RSS feed is truncated.
The option to create a public page to aggregate all your profiles is also pretty awesome (click on my name to see what I’m talking about).
