227 deviants saidA lot. While there are a few you really enjoy, mostly you just skim the rest out of politeness to the people who follow you or to keep up with current events.
You forgot the answer "Lots and I try to read every post or I don't subscribe to uninteresting blogs." I follow about 52 blogs right now covering artists, crafts & tutorials, cooking, photographers, journals on daily life and new sci-fi short stories, etc. I try to pair the list down regularly, but it's just *so hard!*
That's not even counting daily comics (I only subscribe to two, right now, but they're worth it!) and weekly comics I read, which may have bi or even triple postings depending on how professional they happen to be. Or the fanfiction I keep track of with blogger or via my e-mail account.
Whenever I add someone to my flist, I always add their journal and scraps feeds because you never know when someone's got something cool to say (like you). But most of the time? I wind up just glancing at who's posted something, and delete most of 'em.
having said all that, I saw yours man. Pesonally I don't think comic stores will ever disolve or turn into ipod depots. There's just no substitute for the nebbish rapport between two face-to-face nerds man. You can't replicate that sort of cultural/intellectual convergence on a website.
I follow a fist full of podcasts, like Bioshock, and Gary Schyman (the cheif composer for the game), and some anime otaku podcasts that review animes that I might want to view; but otherwise, no, I generally avoid podcasts. I do relish the fact that podcasting hearkens back to radio shows and theatre (like with concepts like FETIDUS, which is a zombie/meta-human future film noir)__but I still abstain from gorging myself on a surplus of shows, because I'm already an unscrupulous media junkie.
politeness is wack. I follow a lot (a whole lot) and I read anything that looks interesting. I work long hours, and reading blogs when I take breaks is my primary entertainment and source of information.
