Following: How do you follow blogs? Do you use Google Reader? Are you on an e-mail list? Are you more apt to follow people who have less followers? Would you follow a blog to enter a contest? What makes you unfollow a blog?
I follow many blog on my google reader. Yes I do get some blog listing by email. It depends on the blog that I am following . I do follow some of both big and small blogs. Lately no I wouldn't follow a blog to enter a contest because my reader is full as it is, and I don't always have the time to read all the blog posts.
Unfollowing a blog can be because my tastes change or they are always ranting. But I also unfollow blogs that haven't been active for some time. Its like they stopped blogging..
Thanks Karen and Pam for this topic
Great answers.
ReplyDeleteI usually follow in GR too.
I'm with you, I unfollow because my tastes have changed and I'm not really connecting with the blog anymore.
I wish I had time to read all the blog posts I would like, but that would be impossible.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could read all the blogs too, but sadly real life often intrudes.
ReplyDeleteI followed a few through email but I found that to be a pain. Now I use google reader and Twitter.
ReplyDeleteI'm really bad at checking out posts and commenting these days. I do manage to go to all my favorite bloggers on a regular basis but it's difficult to find time.
I mostly use Google Reader too, although I don't have nearly as much time to read blogs as I want! I usually end up going through them once or twice a week, depending on how much I'm online.

I use feedly/google reader. Though, as you can see, I get way behind. So I usually "mark as read" posts that are older than a week. I try to clean out blogs I don't read from time to time, but because I can go long stretches without reading, I don't know if it's the blogger's fault or mine! So I keep way too many.
