How many blogs do you read?

I’m looking for micro-comments—1, 2, or 3 digits. (Of course, say more if you want.)

How many blogs do you follow?

    WOW, some people read a lot!! i’d love to find some great blogs to read and follow. that post a few weeks ago had a long list but it was hard to go through it and narrow it down.

    Paul Huxley says:

    110 subscriptions – some are very infrequent posting and the more frequent are often quickly glossed over. There are probably 20-30 that I’ll read pretty much every post properly.

    600-ish

    Grouped into various categories – 350 (or so) are regular perusals (many of those are quasi-indepth depending on topic and tone, etc…

    The other 250 are monthly reads b/c they post infrequent but are worth the perusal.

    Ben Arbour says:

    89. But that depends on what you mean by “follow.” I don’t read every post they put up, and if I do, I usually don’t read every word of every post that I do read.

    there are probably a dozen or so blogs that I actually read (in their entirety).

    Most bloggers don’t post every day. so 100+ prolly looks more like 20-30.

    Jennifer says:

    57 on Google Reader (with an additional 13 tagged “defunct” in case they ever resurface). I recently created a new tag called “do i want this blog” for 10 of those to see if I really read them or just pass by them en route to other posts; I’ll give it a few more days but will probably quit my subscription to them all soon.

    And I’ve lately put 8 of those on the rss reader on my iphone because the tend to post more often and/or are easy to follow there, but I had to delete yours from that reader because it wasn’t showing your blog titles, which are integral parts of the reading process here.
