I have over 10...I hate them even though I use them. I have over 1000 reads to clear and I miss the design of the many blogs I read, which I think is a central part of the experience. <BR/><BR/>It's so weird that I miss the design of a blog but I can easily listen to an mp3. I think I'm going to keep using them because their easy to manage but I think it's a horrible way to digest information. But it kills time.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654389006817039960noreply@blogger.com
