If Your Users Fail, Your Website Fails, Regardless Of Intent Or Design by Scott Karp:
On the web, in the age of Google, design has no margin of error, and there are no stupid users, only inadequate designs. Those were the main points of my critique of newspaper websites generally, and WashingtonPost.com in particular, which to be fair, apply to all online publishers, and really any website. I’m writing another post on this same topic because the issue is so fundamental to the future of media, news, publishing, and journalism, that it really can’t be over-emphasized or over-clarified.
The Most Risky Web Locales by Samuel Dean:
Where should you be careful when you’re online? That’s the question that McAfee Research has tackled in its newly released report The Most Dangerous Domains to Surf and Search on the Web. The report seeks to pin down which general types of domains give you a good chance of picking up malware, and gets into which parts of the world those domains are usually associated with.
8 Useful Tips To Manage And Avoid RSS Overload by Abhijeet Mukherjee:
RSS is an amazing technology which helps you to read different websites and blogs through your feed reader. It saves you a lot of time because you don’t need to visit your favorite blogs everyday if you are subscribed to them in your feed reader. Apart from saving you time, it also brings in a world of information and knowledge and acquaints you with the latest happenings in your fields of interest. And it does all that at one place - your RSS feed reader.

1The RSS tips were interesting.
I have an “A list”, “B list” etc. The blogs that are the most interesting to me, or those that are written by bloggers that I consider as friends, are on A.
Blogs that are enjoyable and where I like to comment once in a while, go into B, and so forth.
Works for me, and when I’m too busy, it’s easy to mark lists B, C and D as “read” and just concentrate on list A.
Most of the blogs on my A-list would not be considered A-list blogs by most, but these are MY A-listers and I love them. :)

2Vered, I’m not afraid to admit that your blog, motherly as it is, is in my top to-read folder
The solution you’ve presented sounds like an effective one that retains the simplicity needed to deal with information in a fairly efficient manner.

3Joel -
I agree with Vered. I have list of my favorite blogs, of course, yours is in that category for a daily stop. I seldom visit other blogs unless I stumble upon interesting content. Shilpan

4Shilpan - I’m honored you’ve put me in that category! I also try to limit the number of blogs I visit because that can just steal your day away. At the same time, I enjoy being active in the wider community. It’s a tricky balance, but it can be made to work!
