Feeds are useful to keep you aware of updates without having to check all your favourite blogs, but I'm with you here - if the post is even remotely interesting then I want to get the full context + comments, so head straight to the blog. I even find myself visiting my favourite when they're not updated ... how sad! @steven — wondered where you were.

And I think it's funny that we speak of the "shape" of the blogosphere, and A Lists, and blogospheric conditions and growth... ...when all any user ever experiences is a micro-blogospheria composed of blogrolled, bookmarked favorites, SE results surfing, and RSS/Atom syndications feeds. In feeds, we don't even interact with the blog itself, but only a Fed Version of it in a Feed Reader...often stripped of comments, always stripped of sidebar communications. We don't interact with a "blogosphere" at all. We interact with a little list of blogs we like, with some excursions into the "badlands" of unknown, and largely undesirable, blogs.
