Information overload meets lazy AND ZOMBIES

I think I know my RSS feed saturation point. That is to say, the number of new items on a single RSS feed in one day that cause me to go, “I am no longer interested in what you have to say.”

Based on the Trends data from my Google Reader account and my own qualitative assessment of me, I am ready to make the following inferences:

1. If a feed updates on or below three times a day (on average), I am likely to read the entire item.
2. Above 3 times a day and I will begin to scan the headlines of the feed for interesting items.
3. At or above 15 new items a day and I will begin to scroll with more vigor. Those headlines better really start to pop out. (Zombies? Must read.)
4. At or above 45 or so items a day and I scan more like a speed reader. I cannot speed read.
5. If a feed nears 60 items a day, which I have one that does (thank you BBC), then I am unlikely to read much of the headlines in any given day.

On a related note, I need some good keywords for filtering out inane cricket scores using my Google Reader Filter Greasemonkey script.
