Used to. In fact, this was a primary mode for me, until RSS. Then I used RSS to setup feeds I would pick through on a recurring basis. The noise levels have gone up, and my interests have changed with career and role changes too.
Now I default to a few communities, this one included, where I can follow and interact with others who have interests and experience I find relevant. Ideally, I contribute the same.
Dialogs are very important. The perspective matters to me. From there, I'll have realizations or questions which I then follow up in various ways, connecting things together.
From those places, I end up following up on information based on recommendations, supplied to me in conversation.
There are still quite a number of blogs I will check in on, and I've got 'em organized for my own needs. This is irregular, depending on what my interests actually are. And some are for entertainment too.
Some newsletters are pretty great. I would reconsider them given much improved curation. Not sure where others are at, but for me at least, it's an opportunity for somebody.
...and I have to plug podcasts here. Mostly, I'm using these for news and hobby entertainment right now, but there seems to be a lot of potential. I find myself with drive times and other odd bits of down time here and there. Audio is often a great solution. For me, a good podcast could serve as a newsletter, and it could drop right into some recurring time I have too.
Anyone have good tech oriented podcast recommendations? I would like to add a few shows to my queue.
