I probably read 50+ weblogs via RSS each day. Some in my Radio Userland aggregator and others in NewsGator (within Outlook). Over the years I’ve also bookmarked various discussion boards or forums as favorite reads. I visit them daily. Some of my interests have also led me to subscribe to Yahoo! discussion groups. Those daily digests of threaded discussions also arrive in one of my inboxes daily.
What’s fascinating is when the information starts to intersect. I found Manila and then Radio at Userland software. That led to Robert Scoble and the Scobleizer weblog. (Yes, Scripting News too.)
I found CityDesk and Joel Spolsky (Fog Creek) via a link while looking for content management systems.
I read David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” and have been trying to implement that system for over a year.
Recently there was a GTD thread on one of Joel’s Fog Creek forums. Earlier this week Scoble started blogging about GTD and today points to Jason Womack’s new blog. I recognize names or aliases posting at the GTD forum, Ask Joel forum, Yahoo! Groups – GTD for Palm, etc.
Some people have suggested that the weblog world is just an echo chamber. I read your RSS feed and re-post or echo the item. Some of that does occur. But what is more interesting – is it reassuring or scary?- is that these intersections of information are available and increasingly obvious.
