    too many….52.

    man, i thought that it was so much more….now i feel like it is a small number. Regardless, i wish it was less.

    The growing number in my reader overwhelms me most days.

    Subscribe? None. Visit? About 15 or so. One of my favorites is one called flowerdust. How’s that for “sucking up?”

    Just checked - an even hundred, categorized into different folders like marketing, writing, church leadership, kid lit, creative, etc. I don’t keep up with them all, nor do I try to. I think of them as knowledge pools that are waiting for me when I’m ready for them.

  31. Eli Ruggles said,

    June 12, 2008 at 9:40 am

    250… way too many to actually keep up with.

    106 right now. They’re about half personal (individuals or groups) and half news/tech oriented. I read most of them every day.

  40. Diane Muir said,

  55. Amanda said,

    June 12, 2008 at 11:04 am

    65. Wow! I didn’t realize it was that many! But several of them only update once a month or so…

  56. Amy (Dandelion Seeds) said,

    June 12, 2008 at 11:10 am

    35, but I’ve been adding as I find new ones through the Ragamuffin challenge or anything to do with church planting. I found you on Mark Bjorlos and then again on Ragamuffin’s!

  57. nancy said,

  69. Kaye said,

    June 12, 2008 at 12:49 pm

    Actually I only subscribe to 51–but that’s only because those are the ones that let me use Google Reader. I frequently visit probably 50 others.

    About 250.

    I then breeze through them and pick and choose which ones to read.

    I found the more I subscribe to, the better content I am receiving consistently.

  74. mike foster said,

    June 12, 2008 at 1:14 pm

    probably about 12 or so…though this is the only one that matters…and Los too :) ….m.

  77. brandiandboys said,

    June 12, 2008 at 1:35 pm

    You’re doing the research this week…

    I subscribe to 60, but about once a month I week out and put new ones in. I guess I have a rotating subscription.

  78. JudiFree said,

    June 12, 2008 at 1:50 pm

    45 - and I try to read them ALL EVERYDAY…whew.

  81. chris g said,

  82. Lori said,

  84. Kristi said,

    June 12, 2008 at 3:32 pm

    I have 139 on my google reader, but most of those don’t update often. I’d guess there’s a dozen or so regulars per day.

  85. Mark Warnock said,

    June 12, 2008 at 3:33 pm

    45. Trying to decrease. Too much info.

  86. karla | looking towards heaven said,

    June 12, 2008 at 3:39 pm

    too many — *217*

    BUT - have them categorized: graphic design blogs, religion blogs, crafty blogs, friends etc, frugal blogs… so I can read just what I am in the mood for. I can just mark all as read in that category if I feel like it.

  87. Lanel said,

    June 12, 2008 at 3:42 pm

    98 organized by subjects so I can read different things throughout the day.

  88. brent(inWorship) said,

    June 12, 2008 at 3:54 pm

    Judi, like I said, I only skim the 250. But I have found that subscribing to a ton of them tends to bring me more great content.

  90. Amy said,

    June 12, 2008 at 4:08 pm

    370. I’m not sure all of them are still active. And I certainly don’t read them all everyday. I have my favorites, I have my book blogs, and then I have the ones I haven’t gotten rid of yet, and then the ones I read when something catches my eye.

  91. Kim said,

    June 12, 2008 at 4:12 pm

    54, including mine.

  92. Katy said,

  93. Dave said,

    About 40-50 blogs - i go through them every now & then and clean them up

  94. Cindy said,

    June 12, 2008 at 6:26 pm

    I don’t subscribe to any but I have 20-25 in my favorites that I check most every day. Plus I usually read through all the comments.

    33. It got up around 300 and for a long time was over 120. Truth is any more than 40 or so and I start skimming too heavily. The bloggers I read are usually linking and conversing widely, so if there is something good out, I’ll still get a lead on it eventually.

  106. Sean Pritzkau said,

    June 12, 2008 at 10:38 pm

    about 45.
    i wish about a third of them would update more often.

  107. Neener said,

    June 12, 2008 at 10:57 pm

    Google Reader says 42 subscriptions. Some don’t really update much though. Spring cleaning time?

  116. John said,

    June 16, 2008 at 3:24 pm

    Currently… 133

    that is a ‘fluid’ number as I always seem to be subscribing to random blogs for various reasons. Then one day, as I am scanning through one of them, I wonder, “why did I subscribe in the first place?”.

    Maybe, it’s my ADHD…. hey, look! a squirrel!
