That’s right, they’re getting damn close… I’m on the verge of deleting every damn Weblogs, Inc. - run blog from my reader. If I wanted to read the same news over and over again, I’d still have Scoble on my must-read list. But do you see 300 unread items for Scoble’s feed in my news reader? I sure do… Maybe that’s a hint!
If Jason Calacanis wants a tip on how to improve reader satisfaction for his blogs, here’s one for him: DON’T POST THE SAME SHIT TO EVERY ONE OF YOUR BLOGS! Also actively encourage your bloggers NOT to re-hash posts from other Weblogs, Inc. - run blogs. I subscribe to YOUR blog for a reason, Jason. Not just because I like you and the things you talk about, but also because I want to hear the latest news about your company. I don’t need to see that news on every one of your blogs… That’s why YOU are on my list!
Allow me to illustrate a few examples:
Example One: The Newest Weblogs, Inc. blog:
| The Office Weblog | Jason Calacanis’ Blog |
 |
 |
Example Two: Engadget in Stereo (erm, different languages):
| The Office Weblog | Jason Calacanis’ Blog |
 |
 |
Example Three: The Best of Weblogs, Inc. (and by far the most annoying of them too!):
| The Office Weblog | Jason Calacanis’ Blog |
