Hatem’s Diaries

I’m trying to clean my feed subscription and it’s really a very hard task, especially that everyday there are new blogs, many blogs are dead, lots of 404 and domain errors … and the most boring when feed url change without any redirection or notification. Most notable today, is feedster which become powered by splogs and no more serving any interesting results. Delicious is following but hope they find a solution before it will be too late. Technorati and Google are the only ones providing clean and relevant results.

Today unsubscribed from :

• — Scripting News I was subscribed since two years to this very active blog (10 years old), but realized today that I never read a single post.
• — * Feedster All feed’s search from feedster, it become splogs only
• — MSN Search All MSN search’s feed not relevant at all
• — Google Video Feeds Found nothing new/interesting over feeds
• — Unofficial Yahoo weblog One of the dead blogs of weblogs, inc.
• — “Yahoo” Flickr Too much updates and nothing interesting

Going to unsubscribe very soon From :

• - Delicious feeds started to be full of spammers and delicious seems doing nothing to keep it clean.
• - Mozilla Add-ons updates/approves very slow.
• - Flock’s, they are still updating, but not sure who is still using this.

Inactive feeds (DEAD blogs):

• – a million monkeys typing
• – Content with Style
• – OminousMinds.com of Justin Shreve, got problems with domain ?!
• – PHPRiot it was a good site, bad to see it in this list.
• – Blake Ross on Firefox and beyond
• – Marouen (no longer) Bloggin’ his Life Hope you are fine anyway
• – Pensées perdues son blog s’est perdus ?!
• – Google Rumors didn’t work.
• – This list is much more longer but better to stop here.

Remain in my reader 267 feeds in 31 groups, and I’m still looking for good reading about IT in general. Post a comment if you got a good link.
