For a time I thought topic based folders was the best approach, but over time I figured out that sorting folders in an 1 - 10 fashion, 1 being all the sites I really care about to 10 sites I would read if I have the time. By triaging my feeds like this I know then I can read the most important pieces in a very short amount of time. I don feel bad at all about emptying out the otter folders.

This seems like a great way to do things. Currently I have topical folders, and it isn't very optimized. I have things that I want to read (a few people's blogs, tech, security news, etc), and things that I might like to read (e.g. book reviews), and things that might be funny or a pleasant distraction (e.g. cat pictures) all mixed in together. Moving to a priority model where folders are listed in order of general importance to me, sounds like a real improvement -- the ability to nuke lower priority folders without concern. Thanks for the idea.
