Just not enough to get my interest going. Not just yours - it's anywhere! I'd follow a link you mentioned in Twitter, and I'll explore some from StumbleUpon, based on a friend's recommendation. I haven't tried the other services yet. Actually now I think about it I'm mainly going new places from Twitter, because they just come one at a time rather than all in a bundle which can be too much, esp if you're already in the middle of reading a whole lot of feeds.

I'm <em>seriously</em> thinking of dropping them - in fact, I'll not be posting another unless I get some crazy-enormous requests for them. Awhile back, I thought it would be a great way to share things that I thought were interesting, and that's been done much better by all sorts of services. Nice to see I'm not out of touch on this - maybe I was for keeping them so long? Regards, Rick Thanks for the feedback Chris!

I prefer hearing the story behind them. It's good to question these things. Personally I don’t pay much attention to lists of links…. that may just be me mind you.
