[Kevin Fox] About 90% of my web reading nowadays spawns from the 45 RSS feeds that I follow, the articles they point to, and the sites linked from within those articles. Now when I finish reading them, I'm almost at a loss as to where to surf next.

I've forgotten how to surf. I remember when it wasn't about finding a particular piece of information, but just about seeing what's out there. So much of how I surf finds me the latest memes, what everyone else is talking about, that I've lost most of my ability to just go out and hunt for interesting things... How do you surf? Why? What are your daily habits?

While an older entry (June 20th, 2003), I just came across this today and thought that Kevin points out an interesting fact and asks a great question. I have noticed a dramatic difference to my web habits today than a few years ago: I have 100+ RSS feeds I'm subscribed to, I read almost everything in an aggregator and I'm usually reading about the same 'interesting' things as 500 other bloggers at Microsoft.

I'm feeling a real need to diversify my blogroll a bit. Some thoughts: drop the "alpha-bloggers", read more weblogs that are focused more on Mac and Linux, and add more feeds that are "non-technical" (for example, Ben Saunders site has really started to inspire me).

How about it: How do you surf? Any good recommendations for blogs not on the "a-list"?
