Hey Mike,
While keeping a list in nice, still one needs to go through all these links periodically and check if there is anything new… – not really feasible for most testers.
I found that the best method is to keep an RSS Aggregator (see STC RSS feed which covers most non-comercial blogs for instance),
RSS Feeds can be viewed using dedicated tools such as Paper.li (no don’t run and create one and then send the link daily on twitter – hate those 🙂 ), and can also be embedded in any web site.
This way – instead fo all of us have to run all over seeking for interesting posts – these come to a single point, we can sample daily/weekly and get all the data in centralized place, while still keeping the graphical aspects / teaser pictures, and leading us to the source sites – so these don’t loose traffic – on the contrary – they benefit from it.
Other wise – when anyone can open a blog in 5 min, write 1 post a year, and maintain an audience of 5 friends – its useless.
We should strive for central sites – presenting these aggregators (maybe partitioned by topics of interest).
I placed WW Aggregator as well as Local IL aggregator in our http://www.itcb.org.il site – hope it will catch up in other main sites as well.

of this sector do not understand this. You must proceed your writing.
