Bishop Hill Organising your feeds
Jan 10, 2009 Liberalism How do you organise your feeds? If like me you have loads of the things, you can't just sling them all on a single page. Well you could, I suppose, but it wouldn't be very easy to work with would it? In some ways this is like the old and rather important question that perplexed us as teenagers of how to organise the record collection. Alphabetically? By genre? Or perhaps like David Davis's books, there's always the "artistic" approach of organising by size and colour. In my teenage years my system was very much equivalent to slinging my RSS feeds on a single page - in other words my records were generally flung around the living room floor or piled up in a corner.
Nowadays I'm much more organised, and my RSS feeds are organised into tabs - one for liberals, one for statists, one for the rest of the political sites, plus tabs for specialists, two covering the different sides of the climate debate, plus one each for reference sites and things related to my work.
Who should go on the liberals tab is a tricky problem, and there are many sites I waver over. Particularly tricky are the Liberal Democrat blogs. LibDems all seem to know that they are supposed to be economic liberals as well as social liberals, but they are just to wedded to their statism to let go completely. There are a lot of sites with the word liberal in their titles on the Statists tab. There are exceptions though - Jock, Liberty Alone, Tom Papworth to name a few. Here's a new one, recently promoted from the ranks of the "others", and blogging up a storm at the moment too - Charlotte Gore. Well worth a read.
