Sassing back

I’ve been on the hunt for a blog feed I like. I’ve used various Firefox plugins and only tried Google reader as a last resort.

While I don’t exactly love it, it’s the best thing I’ve tried so far. Problem is, I don’t get inspired to comment very often because I read, move along. I have too many blogs of interest: romance, LDS, Kansas City, politics, diet/nutrition, traditional and independent publishing, other artsy fartsy craftsy type things (you don’t want to know how many of those I follow), and healthcare industry-related things.

I know I read a blog post/thread a while back commenting on lack of comments all over; someone suggested that this situation was part of the problem. I didn’t understand it then (most of the readers I’ve tried listed how many comments a post had and it would prompt me to check them), but I do now.

    This is exactly why I don’t like readers.

    For me, it’s a 50/50 proposition. On the one hand, I don’t like readers because of the impersonality of it (humans find ways to connect and then turn around and disconnect–lather, rinse, repeat).

    On the other hand, I’d spend all day on blogs and do nothing else but read comments. Having the reader has boosted my productivity enormously. I don’t know how to strike a decent compromise, really.

    I have a theory I intend to implement . . . someday.

    Would that I were not so busy.

    Oh: and be sure to stop by my blog tomorrow. This’ll be right up your alley.
