I've been blogroll-less for a while now and it feels kinda nice to not be so visually cramped and to not feel like I had to keep it up to date with various friends', colleagues', family, etc. blogs.
Today I got an email from someone suggesting that I was "being a blog snob" by not linking to others. I'm not really sure how many people read this or whether or not they care what other blogs I read so I don't know how snobby I'm being here. What do you all think?
I do read a few weblogs that are just outstanding and I intend to continue promoting those with occasional posts. This effort, which I've been completely worthless at following through on, was intended to be a weekly feature called "Blog Plugs". Unfortunately, like with "Ask Asa", I just haven't been very good at making it happen. In light of that, I think that maybe a blogroll would be a useful mechanism to point out some of the blogs I read.
If I do add a blogroll, I expect to keep it very small, possibly just a "featured blogs" list with one or two links. That would mean that lots of people wouldn't be getting links, which seems almost worse than no links at all.
What do you all think? Do you care? Is this really an important piece of blog etiquette?
