Google Reader killed me

For the love of Pete, I follow entirely too many blogs, feeds, what-have-you on Google Reader.

Once upon a time I kept a tight grip on the edge of the internet rabbit hole, but now I’m in a competition with myself to see how fast I can fall to the bottom.

There are the yummy blogs I follow, like Because It Really Is Personal, Mimi Smartypants, Plain-Jane, Dooce (Yes, Jane, I put you and Heather next to each other in the SAME SENTENCE) and Black Hockey Jesus. I like them. They make me laugh, or think, or snap-out-of-it-already.

Then there are the pictures - Oh, mah lawd, the pictures: The Sartorialist is a favorite. Flak Photo. I also liked Ground Glass before the hiatus.

Gah - I'm done with the linking. Google the guys I mention from here on, if you so choose.

The How-to’s/marketing/design sites which either inspire or piss me off: Awesome Content, Copyblogger, Seth Godin, Design Happens, PhotoJojo, Brand New.

The ‘why do I follow this, they post so much STUFF’ category: IO9, Lifehacker, etc…

I am down to only one comic: Savage Chickens.

And finally, The News (and I use that term loosely) : Fast Company, NPR, USAToday, local and regional rags, etc.

All-in-all, I follow about 2 hours worth of internet reading every day. I don’t have that kind of time, so I’m off to do some much needed pruning.

What publications (internet or otherwise) do you read everyday?

USAToday, RageComics, plus a few personal type blogs. I allow myself to fall down the rabbit hole one day a week via StumbleUpon. If I can do it while catching up on DVR'd TV shows, it can pass as multitasking.
