I do one pass where I'm imprinting on an article, deciding whether it's important to read in depth or not. Out of 1,300 items an evening that I pass through, only 100 or less gets through that filtering system. Of the 100 or so that I put on my link blog I read every one in depth. It's sort of like how most people read a newspaper. They scan for an interesting story to them, then when they find it they read it in depth. I spend only a couple of seconds on each item in the filtering phase. Oh, how long do you need to tell whether a post is good or not? How long do you need to look at a tree to decide it's a tree instead of a dog? You totally missed how I read these.
