A little over a year ago I started actively reading blogs. Today I read something like 30 of them. Interestingly, this has almost completely obsoleted Slashdot for me. I rarely see a Slashdot post that I haven’t already read.
Update:
Blogs have also obsoleted mailing lists. I just unsubbed from the very excellent Crypto-Gram newsletter, because it’s much easier to digest in bite-sized chunks.
I generally don’t read blogs because i could give a flying fuck about what other people have to say, but recently I started because I’ve been posting on myspace.com and i realize compared to the huge numbers of dorks online I’m extremely cool. Anyway you should check it out….tim’s on there too, hambone and eddie.
