    RSS bankruptcy

    Uncle.  I have become overwhelmed with the sheer number of RSS feeds I have accumulated over the previous year.  Much like many declare email bankruptcy, I am going to extend this a bit and declare RSS bankruptcy.  I can't keep up so I am scaling back.  I began to realize that there were just a few that I actually looked forward to reading with the rest getting "mark all as read" treatment.  Newspapers and periodicals?  Gone.  Robert Scoble and other nonsense peddlers?  Gone.  Here's my list of must haves:

    1. Paul Kedrosky - I have declared my fan status previously
    2. Brad Feld - he lives in Boulder, knows his stuff, and answers my emails
    3. Fred Wilson - just generally good stuff
    4. alarm:clock - funding activity and venture news
    5. Marc Andreessen - just good stuff
    6. DealBreaker - my dose of Wall Street
    7. Kirkland Weblog - news from the hood
    8. Random Desiderata - good stuff from friend and previous co-worker Bradley Young
    9. Scripting News - i just like the posts
    10. Glenn Reynolds - see if you can keep up with Instapundit and b/c I took a class from him when I was at UT.  Great guy.
    11. The Big Picture - more Wall Street coverage
    12. ValleyWag - for a dose of Silicon Valley without actually having to go there
    13. Jeff Nolan - thoughtful posts from an enterprise software guy
    14. Extreme Mortman - I like the posts
    15. WallStreetFighter - just entertains me
    16. WallStreetFolly - another Wall Street site but I like to see who posts first - these guys or DealBreaker
    17. Politico - the best balanced political site I could find (recommendations wanted for others)

    I have more than this set up in my reader, but these are the ones I look forward to that post pretty regularly.
