I use Shyftr for all of my techy, geeky stuff. There I try to organize by topics, like mac, hardware, gadgets, early adopter, social media, etc... This makes it easier for others to find feeds that interest them, which is why Shyftr was created.

The new feeds are uncategorized, and if they're worth it, I move them to the permanent folders and if they're not, then I unsubscribe. I try to keep my feeds neat and clean, and right now I have only 50. I used to have almost 200.. and I can't believe how you can live with 600 feeds!

I use mail.app's rss function, and have recently discovered smart folders, so will probably create a few to mirror something like what you describe above. Neat idea. This system sounds pretty good.
