But wait… there’s more. I was reading a meta blogging post by Doc Searls about who he reads and about the paring of blog rolls and I felt inclined to reflect.
My blog reading falls out into four categories… the Regular-Reads (which includes the Dailies, the Frequents, and the Less-Frequents), and the Serendipitous. The dailies include Winer, Weinberger, Locke, Madame Levy, Isenberg, Sessum, Jenson, and Searls. The frequents include Powers, Moffatt, Matrullo, Golby, Bennett, Bruce, AKMA, Landsman, and I’m sure I’m leaving a few out. I can’t stand to use the aggregator, so this isn’t a simple matter of transcribing a list.
The Less-Frequents include a whole lot more. You can see them on the blog-roll to the right. Occasionally someone like Anne Zelenka appears on the horizon. Anne started as a "Serendipitous," and turned into a "Frequent." Or, take Chris Pirillo… please! (No, just kidding), but I haven’t read as much of Chris recently as I did a few years ago. Chris has moved from a "Frequent" to a Less-Frequent." Why? Well there’s only so much time in the day, I guess.
Robert Scoble ingests huge volumes of blog-script every day. I can’t do that. But I do read a lot of bloggers. There is that old saying that you never step in the same river twice. Same goes for blog streams, tributaries, the rivers of information flowing into the ocean of the world-wide-internecks
(WWiN). I know that there are a lot of streams that I’ll pause to drink from. I wonder who’s reading me?

Frappr!
Frank, bless his heart, sent me an invitation to Frappr. Here’s my page. Frank doesn’t use an aggregator–I do. You can see my feeds here. I haven’t started logging my comments on other blogs yet…so much to do, so little
I’m reading you!
I’m thinking of reducing my feeds down to just my favorites and then getting the rest derivatively, via newstrackers or my favorite bloggers. For heavily linked domains like tech, that works okay. Not so well for other domains, like parenting.
i read you. i use blog lines. its great, because of the mobile features. I think river of news allows me to read that much drip fed, a little bit at a timee.
I’ve found bloglines to be a great way to keep up on what interests me, and do so at my own pace. If I find myself falling behind on a certain blogger’s content, I realize that their content wasn’t connecting with me enough to make time to read.
