I've been removing tech blogs left and right from my reader for the past week for the following reasons (in order): 1. Nerdy pissing matchings 2. Outrageousness 3. Facebook posts I'm instituting a similar policy to my feed subscriptions as I have with email forwards from friends and family: First time you send me something annoying, I'll let it slide. Second time, you're getting a written warning. Third time, you're done and filtered as spam. Sorry, but you'll have to call me or come over. Except, I'm at the point right now with tech blogs where I'm skipping steps one and two and just unsubscribing. Sorry, but you've all become boring talking heads. Thank god someone is saying this!
