Blog ini sepertinya memang sudah perlu di-outsource.

Ada satu cerita di Donal Bebek yang membekas di otak saya. Ceritanya Paman Gober mengumpulkan semua orang yang butuh uang untuk menghadapnya. Mereka antri dan menyampaikan keluhan mereka ke Paman Gober. Ada yang butuh uang untuk mobilnya, ada yang mau berlibur, ada yang minta proposal, dan lain sebagainya.

Donal memegang sebuah tuas dan begitu Paman Gober bilang, “Berikutnya!”, Donal menarik tuas dan terbukalah pintu jebakan di bawah orang yang sedang menyampaikan keluhannya. Saat Donal bertanya alasan kenapa Paman Gober memanggil mereka semua kalau cuma sekedar dibuang kembali menggunakan pintu jebakan, Paman Gober cuma menjawab,

“Karena kadang-kadang mereka mempunyai ide cemerlang.”

Mungkin itu juga alasan gue subscribe lebih dari 500 personal blog di google reader, termasuk reddit, digg dan stumbleupon. Siapa tahu di antara banyaknya posting hari itu, ada satu ide yang cemerlang dan bisa dicuri.

I enjoy blogwalking, because there’s so much informations, quirks, opinions or blabbing that worth to read. But this post make me wonder whether I am reading and visiting too much blogs. There’s a pros and cons, of course. One of the advantage of visiting so many blogs or subscribing to their feeds is you have a lot of information and always keep updates of what happened in this world. Also it can be the source of inspiration.

The ultimate cons is time consumption. And the anger from your boss when he caught you slacking (you can always give reason : for research). Anyhow, it’s necessary to develop your effective and efficient ways to read or to visit blogs.

One way to deal with some of these blog-reading downsides would be to change how I organize my RSS feeds. Currently, they’re organized by topic — I have a set of feeds for “productivity”, another on “writing”, a third on “education”, and so on.There are a few topics I try to read at least partially every day, and some I only read when I get around to it. But maybe I should adopt a system I’ve seen some others use, categorizing by priority?

My current reader is set to daily, monthly, and blogger. How about you?
