Robert Scoble: I've gotta give up the link blog

Hey, look, it's a Netdisaster. Heh. The aliens have kidnapped me! Seriously, I have something more serious to talk to you about. It's becoming more and more clear that something in my life has gotta give. I've got about 1,100 emails waiting. Maryam would like to have me say more than hello and goodbye to her. My son is now showing me how to play bass guitar via IM and that sounds fun. I haven't seen a movie in months. My friends are getting ignored. The Channel 9'ers need their videos (and their foam nine guys, I have a bunch to send out). I have a book that needs writing. And then there's the link blog. I've been looking at my link blog, and the requests lately about it, and I've decided just to stop doing it. Why? Well, there are so many other ways for you to find cool new blogs now. Pubsub. Bloglines. Technorati. Feedster. NewsGator (Greg Reinacker reminded me again that NewsGator has a really cool set of online services including a search engine). I've been spending three to eight hours every day on my link blog. And, at the end of the day it just wasn't worth the effort. So, sorry for those who got used to watching it. I know there were thousands. I'll keep it around, and I probably will drop a few things into it from time-to-time, but I won't make it the everyday thing it used to be. ======================================= Check our offers ======================================= Scobleizer blog.
