The Fattest RSS Feeds

One thing I really like about an offline feed reader is that you don't need to read feeds all the time. Just store them up like a squirrel stores nuts. Then go on a feed reading binge. I use NewsGator for Outlook (it brings all my feeds into Outlook so I can read my feed items offline - most of this post was written using Windows Live Writer at 33,000 feet on the United Flight yesterday to Chicago). I have an admission to make: I haven't read any feeds since about 8/18. That's why my blog has sucked lately. I haven't been discovering the new little things that people tell me they liked most about my blog. Anyone can talk about HP and how messed up its board is, right? But who will read more than 100 feeds for you and find some cool nugget? Anyway, one thing I noticed when I looked at my feeds for the first time yesterday is that most of my favorite bloggers publish more than my less favorite bloggers. A lot more. Let's look at the top posters in my RSS reading list: Engadget. 1093. Lost Remote. 408. MSDN Blogs. 2886. (not really fair, cause there's a few thousand people on there, these are Microsoft's employee blogs). TechCrunch. 212 TechNet Blogs. 1454. (same problem as MSDN blogs, this one is another group of Microsoft bloggers). I published 273 items in the same time. Disclaimer, these numbers aren't quite for the same time period. Some I hadn't been reading for a longer period of time. But they are representative of the "fattest" feeds. Whew, that's a lot of blogs to read through. A good comparison is my favorite Tim Bray for that one. Anyway, I gotta get some sleep. I'm on stage in a few hours. Add to Del.icio.us | Digg | Yahoo! My Web | Furl Bookmark Murdok: Scobleizer blog.
