@Sheamus

I’ve actually been asked this question a few times of late, mostly recently by @_fran_ on Twitter, and I thought rather than trying to squeeze everything into a multitude of tweets it made more sense to do a quick blog post!

In total, I have an RSS subscription to 53 blogs. That’s not a particularly large number, but I find it’s just about right to give me all the social media and tech information I need, as well as a few other bits and pieces in which I have an interest.

(Also – two of these blogs are my own, which I subscribe to for the purposes of testing, not to flatter myself.)

And while the list fluctuates occasionally as I add and remove subscriptions, most of the folks on this list are permanent and long-term reads. Hence, I recommend each and every one without hesitation or disclaimer.

Here’s the list in alphabetical order, including links to the blog and RSS feed.

It’s worth noting that one of the reasons why I subscribe to a (relatively) low number of blogs (certainly compared to some scribes) is because I also receive a lot of updates from other blogs through Twitter, Reddit, Digg, etc.

I recommend you check out the list above – I’m sure you’ll find one or two feeds that are worth further investigation. :)
