I’m doing some heavy year-end pruning of my blog reading this week. Much of this is time-managment (both Approver and the consultancy have experienced big upticks in the past month and are taking more of my time). But the pruning is also informed by a desire to spend time on more quality stuff. So, blogs comprised mostly of links to other blogs without explanation or commentary are mostly going in the bit-bucket. Ditto for corporate blogs that don’t actually talk about the company’s products (one of my consulting clients is an offender here). And blogs that haven’t been updated in over a month are out the door, too. NetNewsWire has a neat feature that turns the name of the blog poop-brown if it hasn’t been updated in a while, which makes this kind of pruning easier.
