There are so many feeds out there nowadays it is hard to know which ones are worth subscribing to, and which ones are worthless. Here are the feeds that I think every blogger should be subscribed to.
Del.icio.us
One of the best decisions I have ever made was subscribing to the del.icio.us feed. In case you have been living under a rock, del.icio.us is an online bookmarking system that posts the most popular bookmarks on the front page. Although during your subscription there may be some really wacky posts, every once in a while a golden gem may appear. The hotlist feed is especially helpful when you are running out of ideas.
To subscribe to the del.icio.us hotlist you can use the browser button (assuming your browser has that) or there is a small RSS button tucked away at the bottom of the page. You can also view just the popular posts or the recent posts and subscribe to their respective feeds as well.
Techmeme
Techmeme is a technology news site that gives a quick summary of popular stories and links over to the source. Their subscription button is also hard to find, it is on the bottom of the sidebar.
You should subscribe to Techmeme if you run a technology news site, but even if it is completely off topic from your blog, it can provide a nice read in the morning.
Digg
And finally we have Digg. You knew this had to be on here, right? Although 90% of the stuff posted on Digg is crap, there are some valuable stories thrown in there every once in a while. It also isn’t uncommon to see del.icio.us and Techmeme link over to Digg.
The thing about the Digg feed is you should quickly glance at it, and that is all. There are far to many posts every day to worry about reading every summary. If the title ain’t interesting, don’t bother reading the post.
Nusuni
Oh yeah, and don’t forget to subscribe to Nusuni.com’s feed either 
Please subscribe, or else I will cry. Do you really want to make a programmer cry?
