'Less is more' is not just a Bizarro World philosophy

Last Thursday, October 25, 2007, Angela Gunn wrote on her USA Today Tech_Space blog that "Everyone's talking this week about the Carnegie Mellon (CMU) study that concludes that in the blogosphere, less is more — or at least it is on your blogroll."

That got me all excited 'cause as any fool can plainly see, here at bookofjoe there is no blogroll — never has been, never will be.

Why?

Because to include is to simultaneously exclude — and I'm not about exclusion.

Besides, I'm lazy.

But I digress.

I guess one of the downsides of not reading blogs is that you haven't a clue what's going down — or up, or sideways — in the blogosphere.

No wonder this is the first I've heard of the CMU study.

Anyhow, you can have a look at it yourself.

I'm relieved to find I'm not among their "... 100 blogs you should read if you're only reading 100 blogs."

"Only?"

Yikes.

My favorite blogroll is the one on Angela Gunn's USA Today blog (top).

I've been on it since forever and hope to remain there at least that long.

Though I must confess that when I look above and below at my mates, I feel like a virtual Zelig who somehow popped up in a neighborhood I have no business in.
