What is ByteFeed all about?


This is my ‘Tech Dump blog’ containing snippets of the Tech News and analysis I glean from the Web everyday. I track tech blogs / websites .. get loads of forwards and keep surfing day-in and day-out for Technology tit-bits on the net ... 

I got hooked to reading Tech Blogs about 10 months ago - when I started using Google Reader. Slowly my reading list grew and I kept adding deleting ... then gradually not only did my reading list increase, my ability to read and filter more and more content daily increased.

So, apart from reading these blogs, I started sending some interesting ones via email to Shubham and Hemant - occasionally marking a few other friends too. Of late, I realized that I had been sending too many such emails and I better start a parallel blog to record these 'filtered' blog posts.

Since these 'referred posts' are mostly on Technology, I used to send excerpts of these via emails by the subject 'ByteFeed' . So, when I decided to publish these emails on a blog simultaneously – I gave the blog the same name.

The idea behind this blog is just to collate interesting news at one place as it happens. I myself have benefited by bloggers who glean info off the web and publish a selection on their blogs [Example: Rajesh Jain's emergic]. This helps save my time as I read only filtered stuff - this blog too is a similar attempt from my side to output a filtered feed of my own reading list on a blog.

Few words of caution to people who would want to become visitors to that blog or subscribe to its RSS feeds. I do not intend to post any original posts or commentaries there - this blog would be more of an 'excerpt collector' from various leading tech blogs which I track. So it might seem that the content on this blog is plagiarized - however that is not the intention at all.

Also, please note that my personal blog still continues to be this and I don't see any situation when the posts made there would get posted here. All my original posts, rants, commentaries, reviews, travelogues ... etc would continue to get published on http://the-complete-man.blogspot.com/
