Does anyone else use RSS feeds here much? Over the past year or so I've really started to build up a collection of feeds to keep an eye out on. Some technical, some otherwise. I've been relying on Google Reader more recently to handle them as it's quite useful to have a consistent source no matter where I am, rather than just maintaining a news reader at work. What feeds do you have subscribed?

Amongst my favourites:
xkcd (http://xkcd.com/): Almost always worthy of a giggle or two.
Photoshop Disasters (http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/) Some just want to make you cringe. How do people think it's okay?
Vanilla Days (http://www.vanilladays.com/) Cool photographer who posts daily pictures. Wonder who it could be ;)

Of course tacked into that I've got the BBC News, a half dozen techie sources like Ars Technica and a few other random odds and sods that I like to keep a regular eye on.

I have 220 feeds. I wish Google allowed a public list like Bloglines does.

That would be cool :)
Not sure if you're aware but you've got nearly 200 people subscribed to your daily photoblog on google reader alone.

I've got a fancy stats package on my site that tracks feed subscribers. Just last week I hit 600 subscribers :D Though its nothing compared to 'A daily dose of imagery' with over 10,000.
