That is a huge list. In what way do you consume this? I would feel overwhelmed following this many blogs. How much value would you say you get from following this many blogs?

I agree - the list is truly impressive. I ran a quick spot-check and it looks like most of these blogs are of medium to low activity. Having 1000 blogs in your RSS reader with an average of 1 article per month per blog results in reading 3 articles per day on average - not bad.

That's exactly the point of RSS. Not an alternative channel to read the same one site you anyway refresh 40 times a day, but to keep track of the 200 sites which may only update sporadically

More like 30 articles per day?

I think of it as a hybrid summary/index of posts from people/blogs I'm interested in.

If there's a post that piques my interest, I'll read the full post - or visit the web page.

How cool! Very inspirational.

thank you!
