My Blogroll: What Feeds I Monitor and Why

I subscribe to about 250 RSS feeds (that page has my full blogroll as of today) and try to have it clear each morning. Here are *most* of the feeds I subscribe to (in no particular order) which are updated fairly regularly. Enjoy! And let me know if there are others I should be reading.

I also read a lot of print (see my Information Diet). My RSS reader NetNewsWire almost always gets partial attention – I’ll be listening to music, sitting in a class, doing email, etc. while skimming my reader. I will never stop and read a post carefully during my morning refresh. For things that look interesting or comment-worthy I open in my external browswer and read when I have time. Things I like I will tag in my del.icio.us account (which you can subscribe to here). Things I really like I will leave a comment. Things I really really like I will blog.

  • Since I republished my entire blog today which sent out 20 articles via RSS, I didn’t want to edit this post to make one correction. Somehow Rich Karlgaard ended up in the Friends of Ben section when he should have been in Entrepreneurship. Wistful thinking? Perhaps, but actually a silly oversight!
