That is not to say that I do not ....occasionally....get caught up in the trash.....! The ratio of quality to not is obviously low, but when you find the jewels it sure is worth it.

I'm not against blogs or RSS feeds, I just think it's easy to get caught up in all the fluff. I know I did (and had to take a step back). Chuck, I have Shoemoney in my reader and I think he's given a lot of great advice. I like the guy, I just don't care too much for the recent drama and the linkbaiting (I know he says he's never linkbaited on purpose, but c'mon... "britney spears shaved", MBL, etc.). He's built quite a brand though, so I gotta commend him for that. Nathaniel – it sounds like you have things under control – right on.

However, unless the blogger is an amazing writer, personal blogs are starting to get the old heave-ho from NetNewsWire. I'll still read friends and internet friends. But unless it's technical, creative, or old-school news, you're right, it's mostly crap. Actually, lots of the time I spend on blogs yields actionable info, or at least inspiration.
