My ASP.NET news sources
I just posted about the ASP.NET Daily Community Spotlight. I was going to list a bunch of my news sources at the end, but figured this deserves a separate post. I've been following a lot of development blogs for a long time - for a while I subscribed to over 1500 feeds and read them all. That doesn't scale very well, though, and it's really time consuming. Since the community spotlight requires an interesting ASP.NET post every day of the year, I've come up with a few sources of ASP.NET news.

Subscription updates for my blog
If you subscribe to my weblog's RSS feed (rather than the main weblogs.asp.net feed), you'll need to update it to my new feedburner feed link: http://feeds.feedburner.com/jongalloway

[MIX06] Microformats un-meeting
I went to Marc Canter 's Microformats Un-meeting at Mix06 . It was interesting on a lot of levels. First of all, I had some vague notions of what microformats are, but it was great to hear Marc, Tantek, Eric Meyer, and others describe the idea.

Attention - profile first, recommendations afterwards
The concept of Attention (as it relates to the internet) is still a new and amorphous enough concept that it's hard to find a simple definition to link to. Wikipedia has almost nothing to say about it. There are technologies and services built around it, like AttentionTrust and attention.xml. Meme engines (like TailRank and Findory, which personalize news based on user input - OPML import for TailRank, OPML import and click tracking for Findory) get close but aren't the full picture. Robert Scoble is excited about Attention, but he's too hung up on the commercial and marketing side of it. Steve Gillmor , Alex Barnett, and others talk about it pretty often, but without any real practical demonstrations of what they're talking about, it's still pretty theoretical at this point.

How to Speed up RSSBandit (while waiting for the Nightcrawler release)
RSSBandit is a great RSS Aggregator, but it's just about unusable with over 1000 feeds. CPU use goes through the roof, and it's got some GDI leaks. It runs, but the computer's not very usable. I've been starting it up every few days and setting the process priority to "Below Normal" in the Task Manager, but it's enough of a pain that I've just been browsing to a few pages in a browser (shudder) and ignoring the other feeds.

[OT] Let's crank this blog back up
Hmmm... no posts for more than a month. A reorg at work got me a small promotion and a ton more work. Bunch of other non-computer related stuff.
Enough of the bloguilt - let's crank this sucker back up. Got 275 notes on blog post topics and several code samples that are just about complete, so here goes...

Favorite .NET linkblogs
When work or family interfere with my information addiction (I'm up to 1594 RSS feeds now [update: see comment below]), I rely on a crack team of linkbloggers to keep me caught up until I can slog through the thousands of unread posts:
http://www.larkware.com/
http://coolthingoftheday.blogspot.com
http://odetocode.com/Blogs/otcnews/
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ (not technically a linkblog, but he usually catches all the best stuff)
[update: http://www.theserverside.net/rss/index.tss is also pretty helpful, although I don't read it daily if I'm short on time]

New Google tag... rel="nofollow"?
Scoble mentioned this morning that Google would be announcing a new tag today, so I've been keeping my eyes peeled. Anne van Kesteren just blogged about it - it looks like it's rel="nofollow".
