Walt does a nice job describing Michael Sauer’s [Blogging and RSS: a librarians guide](https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/71210115&referer=brief%5Fresults?ref=lorcandempsey.net) ([here](https://walt.lishost.org/?p=455&ref=lorcandempsey.net) and [here](https://walt.lishost.org/?p=449&ref=lorcandempsey.net)). I too was pleased to receive a copy over the holiday period. I should not have been so formal in my interview responses 😉  
As I say in the book, I tend to cycle through blogs. I will follow something closely and then not for a while. So talking about ‘favorites’ is a little misleading. Here are the ones that seem to be on the top of the list at the moment. Of course, I read my colleagues’ blogs all the time and do not list them here ….  
General IT  
[Rough Type: Nicholas Carr’s Blog](https://www.roughtype.com/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)  
Contrarian views.  
[Software as services](https://blogs.zdnet.com/SAAS/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)  
Discussion about on demand solutions.  
[Niall Kennedy’s Weblog](https://www.niallkennedy.com/blog/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)  
RSS flavor; general technology commentary.  
[Hitwise intelligence](https://weblogs.hitwise.com/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)  
Fascinating.  
[Guardian unlimited technology blog](https://blogs.guardian.co.uk/technology/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)  
Useful gathering.  
Libraries and related  
[Catalogablog](https://catalogablog.blogspot.com/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)  
Industrious linking.  
[eFoundations](https://efoundations.typepad.com/efoundations/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)  
Wide interests; inevitably interesting.  
[Planet Code4Lib](https://planet.code4lib.org/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)  
This is cheating I suppose. A useful aggregation from the Dan Chudnov Media Empire.  
[A librarian’s guide to etiquette](https://libetiquette.blogspot.com/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)  
Worth the occasional look for a smile  
[Acrlog](https://www.acrlblog.org/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)  
Although this is the ACRL blog it has very individual voice. Interesting to see the recent overhaul and the addition of links to C&RL abstracts. Again, how unfortunate it is that C&RL is unavailable on the web (see [here](https://blog.oclc.org/lorcand/archives/000605.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net) and [here](https://blog.oclc.org/lorcand/archives/000640.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net)).  
[Quædam cuiusdam](https://www.wallandbinkley.com/quaedam/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)  
Posts all too rare.
