When you keep subscribing to feeds, you sometimes become unaware of how many you have. Time for spring cleaning!

After building a substantial amount of RSS feeds, you start to get bogged down with news and sometimes the avalance is a little too much or your older feeds go stale.

Well, time to "Spring clean" your feeds.

If Google Reader is your RSS Reader, Click 'Home' in the top left corner and click on the 'trends' link in the middle. Off to the right, you'll notice Subscription Trends.

Google Reader Trends

Click on the Inactive tab to see when the last time an RSS feed was actually updated.

NOTE: If it's a feed you really want, check the site and see if they've updated their RSS location. Unsubscribe from the old feed and add the new feed.

Start cleaning house!
