Hey, thanks for the add, heh. I've been working on managing my own signal and noise output, and surprisingly, my blog has been sparse lately as I'm in that identity crisis stage of 'yeah I love talking about geek things but my audience is not fully geeks'.

The most important things in my life tend to be the things I share on Google Reader and Flickr photos (accessible through friendfeed/spin). I don't wanna talk about twitter no mo'.

We have seen a little bump from this post especially. Glad our links are easy to post around!

blern has definitely popped up on my radar, mostly in ego-searches where I find where my blog entries have been linked. Now that you have raised it formally though, I'll go sign up for it and check it out.

Thanks!

Ah yes. To be honest it is easier for me to generate the table by dragging the links from Toluu into Live Writer. However, I realized after I did it on my first post that it also serves to drive people to Toluu and get set up to start sharing their feeds, without beating them over the heads with it. You get a nice feed view inside Toluu and the title links back to the blog.

I haven't had any complaints thus far, at any rate.

I struggled with this problem long ago and that was what instigated my creation of blern.com. I wanted a site that would go out and find the interesting content for me, so I didn't have to wade around an ocean trying to find it. You might consider it…

Thanks man! Always nice to make the cut! I'd tell you the number of subscribers the blog has, but I really don't have a clue. BTW – nice use of Toluu for the subscription URLs.

Glad to see all these great new feeds being shared on Toluu, I have already found a couple new ones because of you Phil.

Sure man! I still think you should start writing up some cell phone reviews though!

Sure Colin, you are definitely one my to-read list. As for my estimates, they are quite rough. I'm not one to measure everything I do every moment of the day, so I can only describe in relative terms how my new feed mix feels. Hopefully it gives people a good sense of what will happen, though, if they try it themselves.

Thanks, Ryan! I will add your feed!

If you're looking for more people's shared items to read, check out mine http://www.google.com/reader/shared/05188496536...

I share 2-3 articles per day on average, so you won't get too overloaded, it's usually a mix of technology, social media, and things that I find hilarious.

Thanks for the inclusion Phil. I really appreciate it and it's fascinating to watch your journey through this.

I tend to cull my feeds from time to time but have never been race enough to go this far with it. It's interesting to note the 90 – 10 figures yuou've been getting with regards to news vs feeds – just goes to show how much recycling goes on.

Your blog definitely makes the cut, felix. It may not be hardcore 100% social media, but the diversity of articles is actually very refreshing. I quite enjoy it!

The FriendFeed friends feed is great; glad someone is using it

Actually, I'm using the straight FriendFeed Friends RSS feed from RSSmeme. You're right though, I should probably re-visit it to see if there is any tweaking I can do.

Glad I made the cut! I'm not bold enough to go with the whole reset thing, but I've been paring back on FriendFeed subscriptions and finding new ones, which has been working quite well.

Great! I'm curious what RSSmeme feed you are using. Are you taking advantage of any complex filters (language/min share count/etc)?

By: J. Phil

Ok Benjamin, you got it. I'll try to make a list of pros and cons this week and see if I can come to a decision.
