I'd like to say I intentionally avoiding doing so, but that's not really the case. I am sure, however, that I would have a much easier time gettign my work done throughout the day, were my RSS readers not overflowing with all the amazing content being fired at my head by 9rules. You've made me very happy, and very unproductive. I’m sure I have my own 80/20 list floating around somewhere in my head, but I haven’t really quantified it.

I stick with about 50 regular reads and if I add a new one I must remove one or I go crazy. More and more I am coming to 9rules to find the new quality sites.

And with the exception of my somewhat random posts about chairs, mobile phones and iPods, I still think most of them are producing interesting stuff, albeit it with less regularity than when they started. However that is the nature of blogging really. isn't it? Most people can only sustain such a high level and quality of posting for a couple of years, before people run out of steam and real world time constraints raise their ugly head. I remember when you first started blogging you had a huge output (phnar phnar), most of which was at a very high level. However, things change and as people get busier, either volume or quality tends to slip. With the exception of a few, I think they are mostly all still blogging.

Probably rightly so. Though the idea of a *personalized* 80/20 -- from the perspective of the reader -- is likely still relevant, regardless of my original list. I personally don't have enough time in the day to stay current with hundreds of sites. I still look to a few dozen to keep me current on trends and news. And that was the original intent in penning the list. Who are the top 20 today? I'm not positive a global list along those lines is even all that important now, but I'm certain each of us as readers still has our own 80/20 list...

With the constant flux that the web is in, it's a practical impossibility to quantify any definitive list of anything. Which is why Google's "order from chaos" approach makes so much sense. You type in "CSS" today and get a completely different set of results than you would have last week. That’s the challenge isn’t it.
