I hide in bloglines
when it is delurking day.
Is it safe to surf?
But next time around
I promise to leave my mark
With just: "I was here!"
I can't spare a square
I am stuck in deadline hell
Time keeps on slippin...
With 131 feeds and 111 subscriptions, I am very likely reading your blog. It's a case of too much reading and not enough commenting. I will work on this. Pinky swear. If only I could buy time. I can't bring myself to unsubscribe to anyone. Do you edit your reading list regulary? Mine keep growing and growing probably until my head explodes.
I just edited my feeds this weekend. It was painful. I feel like a bad bloggy buddy to do it.
ReplyDeleteBut even after cutting more blogs than I'd like to admit, my list still is unmanageable. And growing.
Sigh.
I have deleted blogs from my feeder before, but only when I stop reading them because they make me feel "icky".
ReplyDeleteWhen a new reader leaves me a comment I add their blog to Bloglines, so lately I've been adding feeds.
It hurts to remove people! But you have a life away from the computer screen. I'm sure most people would understand that.

Wow that's ambitious. I can't imagine trying to keep up with that many. I feel like I'm drowning with a quarter that many. And, when did they announce delurk day? I found out about it yesterday.
ReplyDeleteMine keeps growing too, but I have been commenting less also.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see you when you're around (here and at my place), but no pressure when you are not!
yikes! that's quite a lot of reading to keep up with. i can barely keep up with the ones i read these days.

Yeah, I see you lurking over there.
ReplyDeleteI cut my feeds down every now and then... And then I keep adding more. It's an addiction. I can't help myself.
I'm like Mrs. Chicky. I subtracted and add. I have a core that never changes, but there are others that come and go. If I find myself not reading somewhere often, skipping them when they pop up in Bloglines or I stop commenting often, sometimes I take them off subscription. More likely if it isn't ever reciprocal or if I don't "know" the person. Lots of people I'm too invested in to ever stop visiting, ya know? There's a sort of periphery that changes for me, though.
ReplyDeleteI can't even use a feed reader. I have to just go with the flow and visit on whims. Is that bad? Hope not. Great haiku, btw!
ReplyDeleteWow, you do a lot of reading. I try to visit everyone who comments, but I only add feeds if I find myself reading more than one page. There's just too much good writing!
ReplyDeleteI can't spare a square -- ha,ha!!
ReplyDeleteI usually only add people.
Great Haiku.
ReplyDeleteIf I used bloglines I would never do anything else.
Great haiku, lady! I feel your pain, but got mine below 40 a few weeks ago. I had to do it.
ReplyDeleteI think there should be a support group for "Failure to Comment Guilt." I feel like I'm constantly apologizing on people's blogs. It feels like high school, when you couldn't get around to signing everyone's yearbook.
ReplyDeleteI add. I subtract. I add again. And I'm always behind.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
I can't subtract! And yet, I can't add more hours to the day! What to do?
ReplyDelete(Love your haiku ...)
I don't even know how to do those feed thing...*sigh* I'm pathetic.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I usually just read my core group, but I am not always great about commenting.
I just redid my blog without saving the old one, and I lost some of my blogroll links. So, I think I cut out a few folks. Not intentionally, of course.
But, Jana, I must say that is ALOT of blogs you are keeping up with.
