My Google Reader Addiction

When I first wrote about Google Reader a little under a year ago, I mentioned that I was subscribed to about 60 sites. I just checked my settings and I'm now at about 250. It would be much higher but I've been trying to exhibit some self control in an effort to keep my number of unread items within a reasonable range.

In Google Reader, there's a section called "trends" that displays information about your reading habits. Here's what Google is telling me about myself:

"From your 242 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 16,454 items, starred 11 items, shared 272 items, and emailed 6 items."

Yikes.

Other facts about my GR habits:

Most active time of the day - 1pm aka lunch.
Most active day of the week - Mondays
Most read - Kotaku, mainly because they post so damn much and to be honest, I often just scroll past them and Google counts that as having read them.
Most shared - Kotaku, this figure is a bit skewed for the last thirty days due to the release of Grand Theft Auto IV. Generally, most of my shared items are from Boing Boing, Gothamist, Gizmodo, Serious Eats, and Eater.
Friends - 13
