Blogs I like to read.

I don't read a whole lot of individual specific blogs -- when I find a new one that might be interesting I tend to bookmark it with firefox's `live bookmarks' and then delete it pretty soon after if I don't look at it regularly.

Mostly I like to read already assembled blog collections or collaborative blogs like metafilter or slashdot. But I also like Yahoo Pipes as searching there for a subject usually turns up a collection of blogs which someone has already assembled. For example I was reading one or two GIS blogs until I found a Yahoo Pipe which combines a bunch of them in one convenient feed:

Geospatial Blog Headlines

And I also like these two which collect blogs covering the intersection of library things and technology

All thins technical for libraries

and

Libraries and technology

I find these pipes are much better way of keeping an eye on a load of different blogs without having to wade through the mass of posts. I'm sure at some stage I'll get around to building one of them pipe things myself but for the moment these work fine. I've also totally forgotten the details I used when I last signed up for a yahoo account.
