The core of blogging in many ways is how we interconnect a referral network. …
So when I decided to cut back on the number of blogs in my aggregator to keep my time spent following this to something reasonable … I made the decision to nuke subscriptions to a number of the “a list” blogs. my rationale was simple: everyone ELSE is subscribed to them, and if these people were saying useful things, they’d comment on and link to them.
[Y]ou would be surprised (or maybe you wouldn’t) how rarely some of these “a listers” are mentioned in any of the blogs I read. it was a bit of an eye opener to me. but it sure did save me time, and I’ve come to think I’m not missing anything important, either.
I’m not surprised at all. In fact, they were never on my “A” list.
