RSSOwl Automatic Clean Up
One big advantage of feed readers like RSSOwl is that you can have a huge collection of feeds and then just choose the ones you want when you want them. It's a great way to get your news and doing it this way prevents you having to continually update your feeds other than to add new ones as they come along.
However, there are problems since some news feeds will, over time, disappear while others will simply not be updated although they will continue to exist. Also, your tastes may change and feeds which seemed essential a month ago might now be of little interest.
Failure to clean up from time to time will leave all feeds intact and slowly your reader will fill with unused feeds. My open source software blog, 'Free As In Air', tells you how to automatically clean up your feeds if you use RSSOwl.
