How about posting the ones you still read?

Weird to see Chris Shiflett’s blog being removed, always enjoyed his security findings. Too bad that he only posts about once a month or so.

I like to read most of the posts completely: if if the headline isn’t imediately interesting, sometimes you discover interesting facts in the remainder of the post.

However, I have no intention in judging any of the ones I unsubscribed from: I felt the need of trimming down and choices had to be made.

I guess the difference can also be found in a persons activities: of course decision makers, architects, managers,… will benefit from different amounts and of course, subjects.

I’ll still keep an eye on Ibuildings!

I read about 80 blogs a day without loss of productivity. How? Not read them manually, but read them through aggregators (planet-php, phpdeveloper.org) and in a feedreader (I use iGoogle). This way I can scan the headlines and automatically I’ll only read what’s relevant to me.

This helps battling the signal to noise ration. E.g. you say the Ibuildings blog is too noisy for you; read phpdeveloper.org instead and you’ll automatically get only those ibuildings posts that are relevant to php developers.
