The Blog of Scot Newbury

First off, I did not “mark all as read,” I still want to read a number of these items but as the graphic below shows I am a bit behind on my reading . . .

There was a feature released just about a week ago for folks just like me and you may have missed it as there was no big “splash” about it – the ability to mark items as read by their age via the a drop down menu.

As you can see there are a few options and depending on how much you are willing to just let go you can select from a day old to a couple of weeks old (the selection I opted for) and then you just need to confirm it:

As you can see below I was able to clear 440 items using this and while I continue to read through my backlog of items I will continue to use this feature to also whittle off the other end – the one time burning the candle at both ends is a good thing.
