Google Reader’s official blog did not mention anything about the service being down, but Softpedia ran a news about it being inaccessible since 21 May. It’s 26 May today and I still can’t access it, so I’m finding it quite frustrating. I’ve been noticing intermittent problems accessing other Google services too, finding its load time to be slower than usual at certain times of the day. I’m sure it’s not just my Internet connection problem, because I know other people have been having the same issues.

I use Google Reader to read my blog subscriptions, and while it’s not something to really brag about, I’m glad of the fact that arranging them in those order helps me to prioritize which feed I’d end up reading first. If I’m really short of time, my mouse pointer would almost automatically mark all my feeds under Glance Over and Informative (but not critical) as read (yeah, my mouse magically does that sometimes ;P).

Clearly, my Money and Useful sections are pretty important to me! A total of less than ten sites graced the two sections, while the other 60+ feeds hangs around the other two non-critical sections of my reader. I mark my favourite posts with the star option, and since early last year I have starred less than 20 articles, which goes to show how picky I am when it comes to reading posts.

I’m sure you have your own way of organizing your feed subscription. How do you do it?
