O' silky intellectuals and gentlemen and women,

To whomsoever it may concern, To whomsoever who can tolerate my requests,

here is the plea.

I have been reading exorbitant amount of blogs succulent with variegated
information, references and tidbits. I rely the most on RSS via this
brilliant software called Google Reader, which most of you might be or might
not be familiar by now. In my quest for the betterment of the flawed
knowledge which I have accumulated over the years due to sheer ignorance or
using wrong, unreliable sources, I have been actively rummaging the web,
books and news feeds.

As such when it comes to web, I have discovered many excellent blogs
particularly few by Amit Varma, Amitava Kumar, Chandrahas Chaudhary,
Gurcharan Das, Scot Aaronson, Marginal Revolution of Tyler Cowen etc. There
are few more stuffs like the revered Paul Graham who write in a journalistic
format and on whose posts the collective name of blog perhaps cannot be
enforced.

Coming to the Papers, I read online op-eds extensively. In the Indian media
I read The Hindu and have found their online stuffs ok for now. However,
when it comes to op-eds I subscribe to Business Standard, The Hindu, Rediff
op-eds, The economist, Ny Times, Gaurdian, IHT ( NY Times International one)
etc. If there any prominent op-ed from papers or any other good sites that
I'm missing here, please let me know.

There are also few more stuffs that I subscribe to. I have striven to tag
and categorise most of these precisely 124 feeds that I have. I'm afraid as
I extend my knowledge base, it might go up extensively.

So, how do you people manage when devouring and dissecting hordes of
information which is up for grabs in today's globalized world ? Am I not
managing Google reader categorizations well ? Am I missing something ? Am I
not systematic in assimilation of the information ? I'd be most interested
to know.

Regards,

- Bharat
