The G-List

I really need to update my blogroll—it's been frozen in time due to my inability to do twenty things at once.  But I've always admired Grant McCracken's blogroll which assembles some of the most interesting blogs in one place.  If you are looking for new sources of inspiration—consider Grant's list a resource.

Have an opml file handy?

[DA]

Herb, I can't even make time to update my blogroll. What makes you think I can create an opml file?

:-)

[Todd W.]

That's 200 links. I read a lot of those guys and gals, but I just can't believe that volume of chatter is helpful.

I'd have to wonder how many words they all generate in a week. It's impossible to simply take it all in, let alone make any intelligent assessment or even respond. I'm probably overstating this, but it's no wonder people have less time for generating their own thinking and have turned to microblogging to maintain a semblance of participating in the conversations. Myself a prime example.

[DA]

Use your internal filter Todd. I don't follow all of these blogs, but some of them. The ones I stick with are the ones that influence my own thinking.

[Ike]

Well, crap.

I was hoping to have moved up to the G-List, but I think I'm still on "J".

[Stephen Denny]

David: I'm a big, big fan of Grant's. When I read his blog, I understand just how lousy my writing is. Which is proabably a good thing.

[Benjamin Kudria]

Hey, helpful list, lots of good stuff here, thanks.

[Steve Bryant]

Thanks for including me, much obliged.
