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.
