Alex, the gmail solution is so 2006. In 2007 the hip people are doing RSS. Just let it fill your Google Reader, and then click to the web site to do replies. you only need to go to Gmail to start new threads.
Further advantages: Keeps list activity separate from other probably higher priority messaging. Easy to share (on Google Reader) by starring and sharing. Taggable Can ignore much easier. As an interaction model it seems to work really well for me anyway. I highly recommend trying it. oh! you can subscribe to full posts or just to summaries (your choice). You can also subscribe to people, tags, topics, etc. (separately). I also must add that the list is only unmanageable if you actually attempt to read everything. I think of the list like twitter (but better content). I can go long stretches without knowing what is going on. I know it is there when I have time and interest, and I just skim titles/subject lines for tags like Events & Announcements to make sure I don't miss the important stuff. But most of the list is really for community building and entertainment purposes (some learning, but in an entertaining way), so "management" is not really an issue the way I see it. -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
