Default Re: Who are Chain Droppers Here?

I have to disagree (and not because Ben did, lol) that just because you drop on a lot of blogs means you don't read them. It may be true of some members but visiting 300 blogs doesn't mean you have 300 posts to read since many don't post daily or even somewhat regularly.

I have about 180 blogs on my regular drop list, all of which have subjects I'm interested in reading. I therefore subscribe to all of them and to use them as an average example, only a quarter of these would have a new post per day. So in a full 300 drop, there would be 75 new posts - 45 of which were already read through the feeds. That leaves only 30 blogs where there would be an unread post. That doesn't take long to get through.

I know the example doesn't factor in any unseen blogs. This is actually a very low percentage for me, maybe 15 of my drops are blogs I've never seen before. For those, I check out their overall subject. If it's interesting, I read a few posts and maybe subscribe. If it's not, I leave. That's pretty standard of any visitor, Entrecard member or not.
