Top 21 of my 703 feeds

As I discussed in a previous post, I subscribe to 703 feeds in Google Reader, but only a select few have earned my trust as consistently interesting and deserving of my "always" folder, meaning I read (or at least look at) every post. Below are those feeds, ordered by post frequency, highest to lowest.

The feeds in this folder are not static. Some of the feeds are recent additions, and others have dropped out.

I notice that most of the blogs on the list post infrequently. Only the top two post more than once a day, and the bottom six post less than once a week. There is something to be said for limiting post quantity in order to maintain high quality.

The top two blogs -- Kottke and Newmark's Door -- are impressive in their ability to find and point to interesting things on the web. The next two -- Ben Casnocha and Scott Adams -- are rare bloggers who are able to churn out an interesting, original post every day. I aspire to be a mixture of these two styles, but I have a long way to go before I match them in quality.
