I’m probably not reading you
No, David Weinberger isn’t keeping up with your blog. Me neither. I recently went into an unsubscribing frenzy after massive feed overload. Personally i’ve found through many stages of varying levels of feed consumption that i can easily keep up with 80-100 weblog feeds or rather that anything less feels like info-deprivation. Anything more than 120 feeds tends to get very strenuous. A little less than 100 feeds, that’s my sweet-spot. But it’s not really that important to keep up with everything and everyone.
There are people you care about, that you know in real life or that you keep in contact with - people you don’t mind bitching about their flailing laptop or how they look like sonny in their new jacket. There are the metafiltering, trendsetting a-listers that you really can’t not read like boingboing or kottke. There are people who’re just doing interesting stuff like chris heathcote or matt webb. There are filter-, search- and tag-subscriptions like del.icio.us popular. And between all these constant streams of info it’s really hard to miss anything newsworthy, from the mundane going on in your beloved one’s lives to the earth-shatteringly cool stuff amplified by thousand voices in the blogosphere until it finally hits a hub you’re connected to.
So yeah, i’m probably not reading all you do, but chances are i’m just not all that terribly interested in it anyway and if i’d be, it’ll likely reach me sooner or later, one way or another.
