Feeds That Matter

If you are looking at yet another way of finding feeds, visit Feeds That Matter (via Rajesh). A lot of feed readers offer pre-packaged bundles of feeds and you will find a lot in the Technorati rankings and the feeds that others have shared. FTM uses the top feeds in Bloglines to recommend feeds on a topic. The assumption is that Bloglines being one of the best and oldest feed readers will cover the best. However, I know some who are using other feed readers, so all these techniques, in spite of clever algorithms are limited by where they look. So, I will still rely on my ability of finding feeds.

    [...] Tony Hung writes about blogging ignorance, even within the tech community. He mentions an article by Mr. Binstock where he criticizes blogging because majority of the blogs are silly and personal. I think there are a couple of things to consider here. One is that there is no system to blogging. Blogging is one of the activities with least restrictions, so that anyone can start with it, including kids. Blogging is not about any subject, it is up to the blogger whether it is focused on any subject or not. I think this is touted as one of the evil things in blogging, which I think is the biggest advantage. Blogging is about self-expression whether you are doing it for yourself or others, whether it is on a personal matter or professional, whether it is about your kitchen or computer, whether you do it everyday or once a year. As a reader, it is quite easy to avoid blogs that you do not like, or the other way round, it is quite easy to find blogs of your interest. This is not the first time that bloggging and bloggers have been accused of being insincere. I think the biggest problem is that a lot of us consider blogging only within their context. There have been a lot of examples where journalists blame blogging because they see it as a competition. Blogging does not specify a purpose, it is like a tool that can be used for many works and can give many advantages. [...]
