PC Magazine's 100 Favorite Blogs

| By Scott McClellan | Found in The Web | 3 Comments

We’re still here, I promise. We’re just extremely busy putting the final touches on our November/December issue, so blogging has been a bit of an afterthought. For some interesting reading, check out PC Magazine’s recently released list of their 100 favorite blogs. Unfortunately, the COLLIDE blog is nowhere to be found. I guess that gives us something to work toward.

If you’re a blogger, or you’re thinking about becoming one, check out the blogs and the list and figure what it is that makes their blog good. Whether it is timely news, thoughtful editorials, great links, or entertaining visuals, learn what you can from these top blogs and see if you can put it into practice.

Incidentally, one of my first thoughts upon seeing the PC Mag article was, “100 blogs? That’s a lotta blogs.” Then I checked my Bloglines page and found that I’m currently tracking 80+ blogs. I guess that explains the 200 posts I skim through everyday. Just out of curiosity, how many blogs do you keep an eye on? If it’s 80+, I sure hope you’re using a blog aggregator like Bloglines.

    I prefer Google Reader. I was a diehard NetNewsWire user for years, but then the number of computers in my life proliferated, and it was too much of a hassle to keep them all in sync.

    Now, since I got my iPhone, it’s nice to use Google Reader, and my feeds’ “read” state is always maintained, no matter where I’m logging in. I’d love a real, local newsfeed app on the iPhone, though – one that would let me read offline like NNW did.

    No idea how many I’m tracking… too many! If my “unread” status is below 1000, that’s a big deal.

    Here’s the stuff I think is ‘share-worthy’ in my feed list. Less, um, ephemeral is my del.icio.us feed – more for good resources I want to return to later, rather than a what-I’m-reading list.
