I created a tool that takes lots of search phrases and builds a whole heap of search subscriptions (Google Blog Search, Technorati, Twitter, etc) and gives you an OPML file that you can import straight into Google Reader (or whatever RSS reader you like)...

Great Post. I also use a 'daily' folder in Google Reader for my main feeds that I read every day, constantly promoting/demoting feeds.

You miss a key point which is to use Google Readers star feature. Star any blog posting that meets certain criteria and use the built in statistics to periodically revisit your priority based on those resources that are yielding higher value content.

For those that don't know, if you click the list only tab on Google reader you can scan all headlines for your chosen feeds in an eighth of the time, and then just click expand view on the ones of interest. This was a great tip I picked up on this year's Thirty Day Challenge and it's saved me shed loads of time. Thanks for this post, you've given me some further ideas on saving time, much appreciated.

I the key is to be balanced and selective. After some time you will realize that most sites and blogs produce a lot of filler content and I know that most of us simply don't have time (or don't care) about reading things about someone's personal life in business blog. After some time I simply unsubscribe from those feeds and follow ones that provide value.

Forrester's John Cass linked to this list of F500 biz blogs over the weekend (http://pr.typepad.com/pr_co... - it's served me well when looking for good corporate social media examples.

You might want to try the free version of SM2, our social media monitoring and analysis tool. It monitors blogs, wikis, social networks, microblogs like Twitter, user-generated content and a lot more. You get extensive analysis tools including sentiment, authority ranking and demographics and you can get daily reports via email or RSS. http://sm2.techrigy.com

An OPML feed of great business blogs would have been in order.
Here is one.

Great tips here that I have used before but you have put them into great perspective. I think following 500 blogs is a bit much but hey what ever floats the boat. Thanks
