Parole for blogs in my probation folder

A while ago I blogged on how I use a "probation folder" in my RSS aggregator to control RSS overload.  I still use the system…it works great for me.  That post was actually picked up by a number of big name blogs…as well as other legal bloggers.

Well…seeing that I am now up to 150 blogs in my aggregator (probably 30 of which are actually searches for blog post fodder), I’ve decided to sit down and promote some blogs out of the probation folder (which I will list here), demote some to the probation folder and give the death penalty to others.  To save the hurt feelings of being demoted…I won’t mention who I cut.

To wit, here are the blogs I’ve found in the past few months that are "keepers":

  1. Blawgr.com.  Collaborative blog.  Great idea…slow growth.  Will it catch on?  Time will tell.
  2. Shape Blog.  Another collaborative blog, this time regarding the intellectual property of the shape of things (3D, fabrication, rapid prototyping, trademarks, design patents, etc.)
  3. Patent Prospector.  Great posts!
  4. I <3 Tech.  Adrianna writing some great posts teaching attorneys how to use their computers.
  5. InHouseBlog.  Blog written by an attorney who isn’t currently an inhouse attorney…but the content is really good.
  6. Let the Good Times Roll.  Great posts.  A must read for startups who read blogs.
  7. PDF for Lawyers.  Great resource.
  8. Tips, Tricks and Techy Tidbits.  Very helpful…goes well with Adrianna’s "I Heart Tech" blog.
  9. The Patent Librarian.  WOW.  Great research!

    Guy changed the name of his blog to Bona tempora volvantur–by Guy Kawasaki. My Latin is rusty, so I don’t know what it means.
