Organize RSS feeds using Safari bookmark folders.

"How do you find time to read all those blogs?"

That's a pretty common question. We do spend a lot of time scouring the web for new tips -- but that is only a small part of our job. One trick we use to streamline our perpetual hunt is organizing RSS feeds into different bookmark folders in Safari. Think of this as creating your own personal clipping service.

Safari shows the total number of new posts in each bookmark folder. That means you don't have to visit a blog until you know something new has been posted.
