Do you read blogs regularly?
If so, how many do you read? What are they? How did you find them?
It seems to me there are so many blogs these days, and everyone seems to have one, so they are pretty much useless as a way to reach many people. Like maybe everyone has five readers, each with their own blog, and they all read each other’s blog.
What’s a blog good for, anyway?

I have twenty or so blogs in Google Reader that I look at constantly throughout the day. I don’t read nearly all the articles and stories posted by I peruse them for things of interest to me. Most of the blogs are pretty mainstream, none of the personal blogs where only the writers mother and grandmother read it on a regular basis.
A few hundred :P. They’re mostly related to stuff I’m interested in (obviously), and I don’t depend on them for anything I need to know objectively unless they’re skilled objective reporters.
Most of them I’ve found through reading other blogs.
Blogs can be good for a lot, though. I have my own blog completely focused on providing tips, tricks and tutorials for Xubuntu, and there really isn’t an alternative for that. It’s helped quite a few newbies, and even if it’d just help five people each post I’d be satisfied.
@vincentt: a few hundreed?!? How do you have time? Are any of them fiction or memoire based?
@daloon – RSS feeds are key, I get notified when a new entry is posted and can read all new stuff in one go. Now and then I do have to sift through the blogs I’m subscribed to, as it does tend to take in time. However, whenever I’m short on time I just check which less interesting blogs have been updated and mark all of those as read, so only the really important thing is left ;-)
And no, no fiction- or memoire-based blogs off the top of my head.
