Tighter than Scum

from Adrian Hanft, III: RSS Feed [alt+shift+b] in life

8th Sep 2018
A mile of scum clung to the edges of the grocery store aisles. Every night the machine that waxed the floor spit excess gunk onto the baseboards. Hal Smith pondered the mess from above, perched in a cloud of cigarette smoke, surveying his store from behind mirrored glass.

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
