The Core of the Blogosphere

I’ve been busy lately but I wanted to share a couple of changes to my reading pattern over the last few months you may find interesting…

First, I now rely heavily on WSJ Mobile Reader to keep up with latest news. This makes me officially a Crackberryhead.

Second, over the last couple of months I’ve paid less visits to Google Reader - let alone blogging - partly because of the busyness, but also because the the 1000+ unread feeds is such a turnoff.  Clicking on “Mark all as read” button multiple times has not helped me feel good.

So I decided to make some changes to cut down on the number of feeds - I began limiting feeds from TechCrunch to only those from two of its many authors, unsubscribed from news sources like GigaOM and Xconomy, and eliminated entire feeds in categories like market facts and green tech.

Now I’m focused once again on the core of it all that I care about the most… the individual bloggers.  Imagine that!!
