ISerializable - Roy Osherove's Blog

do so many people on weblogs@asp.net feel the need to post things someone else on weblogs@asp.net has just posted?

If you've got nothing new to say, please don't say it, as it really clutters up my aggregator.

(No offence intended, normally good stuff.)

Although the posts I make go into the main feed, they are mostly posted for my personal blog readers, some of which do *not* read the main feed, or are not subscribed to some of the stuff I link too.
That's why my feed has post categories, which allow you to filter out the "non essentials".

Ever run into a link or a quote from a site you've never seen and discovered it for the first time because of it? Well, I wouldn't deny my readers that oppertunity (although I do use discretion when posting)

Sorry to clutter up your aggergator, but I could have replied this to you personally if only you had left some kind of identifying marks...

dunno, I just subscribe to the full asp.net rss feed (i.e. everyone on weblogs @asp.net), and it's really annoying when I get things three or four times from the same feed..... (In other words I don't subscribe to any of your feeds, main or otherwise, I just get you as part of the big subscription. Maybe .net weblogs should do META posts, which would allow duplicates to be filtered out of the main feed.)

I do wish you would have written your name, then I wouldn't feel like I'm talking to a ghost.
As for your "annoyance" - You'll probably have to live with double posts, as the asp.net feed is just a bunch of private blogs put together - and you can;t help residual information from slipping in. Hopefully in the next generation aggregators we'll get full filtering abilities, but until then its unfair to ask of a person to censor their blog just because it "annoys" you. The point of an aggergator is that the posts you get are kept on your disk, and you can just hop over the ones that do not interest you. That's not too much of a hassle, is it?
I mean, this isn;t a paid service. People spill theire thoughts and musings here, and if other people happen to like them and use them - all the better, but they are, in the end, personal blogs and each blogger must be able to post as they see fit(within the rules of the blogsphere in which they operate, in our case .NetWeblogs). As such, this blogspace does infact take into account the fact that there will be some noise ratio, but that is expected. Coming in and asking that people only blog about that which interests *you* or that does not annoy *you* is kinda not seeing the bigger picture here - "Hey , I get great content from people who live this stuff and are willing to share, should I tell them how to share these thoughts?"

Speaking personally, I don't subscribe to Yosi Taguri's blog, and found this interesting.

I used to subscribe to the main feed, at the beginning. I then worked my roll down to about 25 bloggers that interest me, and rely on them to point out other cool blogs that might be worth subscribing to - it's just not efficient to read every single blog myself ;)
