I use two different RSS Readers. Bloglines for my professional interests (mostly SEO and SEM related) and Google Reader for my personal stuff (friends blogs, Overheard in sites, etc.) Today I decided to dig through some of the posts that I have saved for whatever random reason and noticed an interesting trend.

There are a few blogs that I have saved articles from WAY more often than others. Is this an indication that these “top saved” blogs are better at providing info than others or just another example of my preference for certain authors writing styles? Looking at the saved articles themselves, I would say its more about the quality of the information, but who knows?

Anyway, here is a look at the top saved blogs I have going right now out of the 69 feeds I have in Bloglines:

Search Engine Watch - By far the most saved articles out of the bunch. Everything from linking ideas to interesting takes on search trends.

SeoMoz - A fairly close second. Looks like Jane Copeland is the real winner here as her posts made up about 30% of the articles I have saved for this particular blog.

Search Engine Guide - I don’t think I could help this, I mean, Stoney has the most beautiful smartassed approach to his posts, you can’t help but love them.

There were many other blogs that I have saved an article or two from, but those were the top 3. Do you have any that you are marking to be saved more often than others? I’d love to hear that I’m not the only one.

This is an actual IM conversation between my boyfriend, “Buddy Hawke” and I about a controvertial current event. It’s a perfect example of how we work….

Audrey: Did you hear about the guy who is being executed for raping an 8 year old
in Louisiana? crazy.

Aaron: i think he deserves it

Audrey: yeah I dont disagree. I just think its scary that we are giving capital punishment to offenses less than murder. Whats next?

Aaron: it’s louisiana, don’t refer to it as “we”

Audrey: I meant the USA

Aaron: it’s still 1928 in the south

Audrey: touche

Dear Friends,

I have decided that I want to renew my vows with you. To make new promises and work on our relationship. I hope you know that I am doing this because I want you to know how commited I am to the Audrey and [Friend] dynamic.

I, Audrey, take you [Friend] to be my myspace pal. To comment and
to message from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer
for poorer, in sickness and in health, in slow load times and bad status updates, till your profile is deleted do us part.

I promise to put up random bulletins containing information you probably don’t care about, but feel compelled to read anyway just in case I reference you in one of my quiz answers.

I promise to specifically mention certain people and how much I love them, thus implying that everyone else reading it is somehow lesser and that they’re probably not on my top 20 for a reason.

I promise to sporadically blog with cryptic posts that bitch about people and situations without directly calling them out.

I promise I will stay true to you (until you post too many bulletins and annoy me into removing you.)

I will be honest (unless you post a new pic that makes you look fat, in which case I will probably post a comment and say you look cute anyway, because as a myspace friend it is my duty to make sure your vanity feels well founded.)

In the name of the Father Tom, the News Corporation and the Internets,

Amen

Hugs and Kisses,

Audrey
