I just subscribe to them all if they have an RSS feed on bloglines.com and leave it at that. I know I should link them in someway, but I got a little "lazy". You can see the public list of blogs that I read here: http://www.bloglines.com/blog/willl Though there are a few blogs I still will visit even if i'm subscribed to them via RSS. (Just not that many anymore). I have more online acquaintences than I do friends. It is a big network of individuals, most of whom I made contact with via RBJ. I would say RBJ and the contacts made via RBJ are definately great ones. Online friends come and go, and come back sometimes. Some move onto other things in life which mean they spend less time online. Carlos, I’ve sort of given up listing all of my daily reads now, there’s just too many of them.

Got the feeling we're on the threshold of a "brave new world" where meaningful interaction can follow the spread of information.. i.e., be at one's fingertips, despite/regardless of limitations :] hey Carlos, I also interact a lot more with some OL friends over RL family/acquaintences.
