You probably would get more traffic. But you'd also have to deal with the sites content guidelines. Not just from the site owners but also the site visitors. I received a few flames for wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving on my blog because it had nothing to do with .NET.

GO NAVY!

Brian - if you have quality, they will come. I manually poll all the non-aggregated feeds worth reading in my newsletter (yours included!).

Jim - don't forget the .NET Sheriff that shortly appeared on the scene shortly thereafter to rope things in. That was hilarious.

I personally prefer the home-grown blogs. They always seem more refined and mature.

For the record, I found your blog on Syndic8 [http://www.syndic8.com] and liked the sound of it.

You have a great Blog! Did you write all this software yourself? I am writing a News Ticker...and I actually have added your blog as a "channel"... check it out...you can download my RSS News Ticker at http://www.pillarsoftware.com/pas/

If a blog is good I will probably find it, i also aggregrate the large weblogs.asp.net.

Problem is it's just to much to digest.
At least for me its just becoming a huge pile of entry's while the smaller blogs are something I do read.

Mischa, I totally agree. I have Scoble and Weblogs.asp.net and and number of others aggregrated that post 20+ posts a day. I just don't have the time to consume them even though they often have great entries mixed in. I tend to read the bloggers who just post a few times a week or at most once a day more regularly than those who barrage posts all day long.
