I subscribe to 89 blogs and it’s about to become 88.
I simply can’t keep up with over 10 posts a day – I don’t scan GoogelReader every day so missing a few days can mean I have hundreds of unread posts and a good proportion of these are from Computerworld.
To be honest this is not all Computerworld’s fault. The technical age we live in makes it so easy to distribute (and consume) information that we are all affected by this. Whether it’s TV, E-mail, Tweets, Facebook and Linked-In updates (the list truly goes on and on) we have information coming at us constantly.
Even if every story is a great read the “must read” stories get lost in the stampede, which is a shame.
But, while it’s easy for me to un-subscribe, companies like Computerworld could make things easier. They should start creating more targeted feeds rather than one catch-all one. For example,
- Top Posts
- Most Commented Posts
- Posts by Category (according to the site’s top menu structure)
And if they do already (I couldn’t find them on the site) then I apologise!
