OK, my blogroll is now up to date. I’m now actively looking for great tech feeds to subscribe to.

What kinds of things am I looking for?

How about blogs like Thomas Hawk? I love how he brings me analysis and interesting stuff like his post on Friday about Flickr and WebShots.

How about blogs that tell Microsoft where it can improve? Like Joe Kennedy’s post yesterday telling me where I and Microsoft are missing out on a big opportunity (his two-year-old-daughter is willing to be a spokesbaby for Microsoft.)

If you’re smarter than Danny Ayers I wanna subscribe to your blog. Hint: there aren’t many.

If you’re a corporate blogger, like Matt Cutts who is blogging for Google, and you’re doing as good a job as Matt is, I wanna hear from you. Um, I already am subscribed to everyone at http://blogs.msdn.com and http://blogs.technet.com.

Are you someone like Steve Rubel, who finds tons of interesting links, like this one to a USNews.com article on how to put a customer evangelism practice to work? Then I want to subscribe to you.

Are you more up to date on the social software scene than Liz Lawley? Then I want to hear from you. I love this post about PowerPoint usage at Microsoft. I hate how we use PowerPoint. I told myself that I would never force anyone to sit through a boring PowerPoint deck. Which is a problem cause everywhere I speak now they want PowerPoints. Got one due on Monday. So far I think I have succeeded in not making them boring. My latest trick? Use drawings from http://www.gapingvoid.com (it’s really hard to find clean ones that I can use, but they pleased the audiences I’ve used them in front of so far).

Anyway, tomorrow I’ll upload my OPML file for you to download. Would love some good suggestions.

Richard MacManus pointed at a post from Jason Calacanis where he said that subscribing to a Del.icio.us bookmark feed is cooler than subscribing to the same person’s blog feed.

That’s nuts, sorry Jason.

By the way, Jason, I unsubscribed from a bunch of your blogs tonight. Why? Cause your guys put the same post on all your blogs. If you’re gonna do that I only need to be subscribed to one of your feeds, thank you very much.

My old feed on Bloglines has 9,204 subscribers.
My new feed on Bloglines has 1,457 subscribers.

That tells me that people aren’t unsubscribing from old feeds and are just leaving them in place. It also tells me that Bloglines has a lot of “dead users.” (Users who aren’t using the service much, if at all).

By the way, it’s amazing how many dead feeds are out there. I deleted probably 200 dead feeds. Almost done.
