I agree with him about email, but not about RSS feeds. I've trimmed my RSS reader to remove all the blogs I rarely read. The TechCrunch slurry pipe was one of the first to go, but I also removed lots of blogs that did occasionally have good articles but drowned it out with too much noise.
I still subscribe to over 40 blogs, but most of them update very infrequently and the articles are consistently great. (Ben Horowitz, Gabriel Weinburg, Venkatesh Rao, etc). The people who do update frequently generally produce short-yet-high-value content (Sebastian Marshall, Josh Spodek). In fact I often find run out of good stuff to read pretty quickly.
