We have inverted the usual group blog structure - we have way more frontpagers, all looking out for good stuff, than we do regular commentors. Ive found this to be an essential place to get my daily briefing and good reading material. also, feed readers are dying too. Piping it thru twitter is the better solution - the @talkislam account's growth has been utterly insane. in a nutshell, Talk Islam was created to address this problem.

But it isn't that people aren't reading other blogs, they're just doing it through feed readers. Solution: put a "shared item" widget on your blog, so as you read, you can tag stuff you find worthwhile. It's better than a blogroll because It's always fresh stuff, and it's better than a standard feed pull because you choose what to display there as you do your daily reading. I'm sure this is hardly a new or original idea, but if anyone is curious what I'm talking about, check out the bottom-most section of my blog's sidebar. it’s true that blogrolls seem to have died, which is a problem for finding new stuff.
