“Robert gloats a bit that he Ã¢â‚¬Å“readsÃ¢â‚¬Â more feeds than anyone on Google Reader”

In his defense, no, he doesn’t do that at all.
He never said he reads more than anyone on Google Reader.

It was Matt Cutts of Google who said that.

Robert doesn’t deny it either, but that’s probably because he’s simply agnostic about it.

Personally I think it’s a silly discussion, like bragging about how many newspapers you read.
I almost could make it a day job to just read yours and keep you honest …

The ONLY two other blogs I read are DeAnnie’s and my own (SOMEone has to read THAT one…)

@Deannie – that’s what I said in my comment on Robert’s link to this post – I think if I knew what trends he was seeing, THAT would be interesting. You can’t because he doesn’t discuss why he shares items, or what trends he may be seeing based on the volume of feeds he reads.

And I’m not talking about him building his own community – that’s well established. I am talking about him joining more in OTHER communities. Of course, reading 30,000 blog post a month doesn’t leave much time for involvement – and that’s kinda the point I was trying to make.

You missed the point of what Robert was saying: His reading so many posts reveals trends, he is not trying to build community. I would think that is very valuable in his job since he is constantly looking for that next interesting trend and the trendsetters.

He builds community on his blog – he very regularly communicates back to readers in that forum.
