I ran into an interesting list while reading Rough Type, the 100 blogs you should read (if you had to read just 100). The list “seeks to minimize the amount of time a person has to invest in reading blogs while ensuring that the person gets the fullest possible sense of what’s going on in the blogosphere at any given moment.”

Comparing that to my reading habits, well, as I previously have written, I follow only 30 subscriptions, and of those, only 2 are in the efficient list (Guy Kawasaki & Rough Type). And then there’s reddit, but I don’t follow that as a feed.

There are couple things to point out here. A quick look at the Carnegie-Mellon researchers’ list shows that many of the blogs are really US-centric, so not much use for any European I’d guess. The other thing is that I do not follow what’s going on in the blogosphere. I think I get along pretty well with my 30 chosen blogs/feeds and stay on top of things that are important to me. Sure, there’s quite a lot of overlap. You know, that would be an interesting thing to study, what blogs could I throw away, because of that overlap.

How did your blog-following habits compare to the study I mentioned above (ie. did your favourite blogs make the cut?). The other question I’d like to ask you, the audience, is how you keep up with what’s going on (either *on* the net or *through* the net) and how do you keep that process efficient?

PS. Is it just me, or why I find it impossible to work on my blog postings in Wordpress with Safari 3 beta?
