I use Google Reader, through which I have 222 subscriptions and have read 11,321 items in 30 days; I mostly skim through most summaries and articles and read maybe 1 in 20-50. I bookmark particularly interesting articles in my Delicious account and then try to re-read them within a week to see if I a) still find them interesting, and b) whether new perspectives and thoughts crop up about the themes of the article.
- Guardian's international articles (guardian.co.uk/world)
- International Herald Tribune (iht.com)
- Techmeme (techmeme.com)
- Skim the first page of HN
- Skim the newest articles on Metafilter and AskMefi.
- Flick through all my Google Reader items throughout the day.
You don't explcitly mention this but I also voraciously read books, at a rate of about two every month. Right now I'm going through a serious counterinsurgency phase.
