« Deadwood in My RSS Reader »

Thursday Rant (is it really Thursday already!?)
I've got a fairly extensive RSS reader (you know I love Google Personal Pages).  There are days, not unlike today, when I get up, slip through 3 coffees and go through what's new and exciting and bizarro in my reader.  Today's a bit different.  I'm realizing that I'm carrying quite a few blogs that just aren't staying current.  They're not writing, they're not updating, they're not even saying why they're not updating.  I'm loyal.  You've got to have radio silence for quite a while before I dump you back into the soup.  I'm tenacious.  I've invested weeks and months in reading you, I'm not going to throw away all that invested time recklessly.

But now, I've got to admit, I've got deadwood. It's time to do some culling, some burning off, and some planting of seedlings.

Anyone have any suggestions on what blogs would be great additions?

The deadwood doesn't really bother me. I generally click the "All Items" link in Google Reader and read through whatever's new chronologically, so when I wake up I usually have around 100 new things that have come in over night.

I subscribe to dozen's of friend's blogs that are basically deadwood, but every once in a while they'll get around to writing, and sure enough, it will surprisingly pop into my RSS reader. Very cool.

And here's a fun blog to try if you haven't discovered it yet:

Thanks Ed! I wonder i I should switch to the google reader.... I've just got so much in the Personal Page, I'd feel sad to switch it all across ;-)

I'm going to visit that indexed.blogspot.com site now!

cheers,
