Reading Fewer Blogs

For a long time, when coming across an interesting blog post, my standard practice has been to to add them to my blogroll. Not every single time, but if they seemed like they might write something interesting again, I’d subscribe.

That, of course, has created a huge list of blog.

256 in fact. The computer science geeks in the crowd will instantly recongize that’s 2^8, or 100000000 in binary.

100000000. That’s a lot of blogs to read.

I had a minor ephiphany the other day: I don’t need to add blogs simply because they might write something interesting again & I don’t want to miss it. If they do write something interesting again, more than likely it’ll show up again wherever I discovered them in the first place (e.g., Digg, Delicious’ Most Popular, and so on).

So with that, I’m off to do some merciless pruning.
