Feed me
I've been culling out some of my feeds, and this made me curious about how many feeds other people have in their aggregators. So! Let's play the feed game. Highest one is the winner. Obviously, we're using the honor system here.
I have 111 feeds. How many do you have?
Remember that it's quality, not quantitiy. ;)
I'd also be interested in your feed reading habits, e.g., do you let them lie dormant, building up posts, or do you try and stay on top of all your feeds? How often do you subscribe and unsubscribe to blogs? And whatever else you feel like sharing.

I have 473 feeds. 20 of those are feeds to my own blogs or my comments or my RSS calendar, my spurls and delicious bookmarks.
I read my feeds several times a day and I hate it when they get backed up (with 473 of them, you can imagine why).
I don't read every word of every feed, obviously. I'm a good skim reader and I save a lot of individual items to go back to later (to either read more closely, to comment, to blog about, to email to someone else or just think about for a bit).
I try to clean out my aggregator once a month, at the very end of the month. I eliminate stuff that is bugging me or stuff I just never find the time to read.
108, plus a couple of blogs I read regularly which I don't read via RSS, and push e-mail from my chosen newspaper.
I keep them pretty current, though lately I've been bookmarking stuff instead of doing something with it right away.
Roughly (very!) evenly divided between: News, people I know and like, professional contacts and issues, politics and culture.
I have 113 after ruthlessly culling them last month and have a terrible time keeping up with them all. Some categories, like those folks I link to, get read every day, but the others often get neglected. At then end of the week, if the buildup is in the guilt zone, like 500+ unread, I hit mark all as read and start over the next week. When I'm reading I'll often mark things to be read later and usually get to those again within a week.
You get read every day. :)
I should also mention that I read several newspapers via RSS. Those I get to every day, too.
Not as many as you - I only have 80, and I thought that was a lot.
I have no idea how to work a "feed" which is possibly a good thing.
In other words, I have 0 feeds.
I don't know what a feed is. It sounds depressing.
I read on two computers that supposedly synch the list they share, but for some reason on one it tells me I subscribe to 253 feeds and on the other to 251 feeds. So I'll split the difference and say 252. It helps that a lot of them don't update very often. :-)
I was quite shocked when I counted to discover that I have exactly 100. Most of those have been added in the last month, and I'm finding it a trifle hard to keep up, but it's still manageable.
I don't do feeds at all; I am a luddite. I just surf from my blogroll.
