ScobleFeeds A-Z: The B's

This is part two of my A-Z review of Scoble's feeds. The rules and criteria are here.

First, some housekeeping. I have decided that Bloglines is worthless. Most of the posts in the feeds I imported there appear to be months old- even though most of the blogs have many newer posts. For some reason, Bloglines is not picking up all the posts in a feed. So I dumped Bloglines and imported Scoble's OPML file into FeedDemon. Hopefully this will work better- it can't be any worse. I'd prefer a web based reader for this task, but if Bloglines is representative of how those work, I'll pass.

Now, for my favorite feed from the B's:

Bernie DeKoven's FunLog
(RSS Feed)

Bernie DeKoven's FunLog
is a blog about fun. It's that simple. With a world full of blogs about technology, politics, music, Web 2.0 (whatever the hell that is) and other "important stuff" it's refreshing to find a blog about origami, croquet, cubicle bowling and other "fun" stuff.

Honorable Mention:

Blog Maverick
(RSS Feed)

BoingBoing (RSS Feed) (ineligible because I, like everyone else, already read it)

Blog Consulting & Professional Blogging a View from the Isle ( RSS Feed) (Might have warranted a tie, but got a much deserved too long name penalty)

Wow thanks! Good point on the long title. It was an SEO thing. I've gone back to A View from the Isle. Thanks for the prod.
