A Meaningful Life

This morning I found myself deleting RSS feeds from my Google Reader. I was deleting general information feeds that tend to pump out several posts in a day, each one being overly general, long and some cases a bit boring to read. Inadvertently, I was keeping the lower frequency higher quality niche feeds. Of those deleted some are popular blogs, but thinking about it they are tech news or I’m just tired of the content. I’m convinced my readership relates to high quality that doesn’t come with a high time cost. For me the important components are:

1. Explanatory title not just a funny title - Lets me chose whether to read on.
2. Good opening paragraph summary - Lets me read the brief version.
3. Succinct story - I detest writing that repeats itself by saying the same thing in different ways.
