Who says BlogRush is a scam and a useless widget? I think it is a very good tool, because it shows random posts from a network of blogs. This makes it a very good tool to find great new blogs and many interesting posts, like the one I stumbled across today. Thanks to Blog News Channel’s announcement of Google Reader’s Recommended Feeds feature, I not know that it exists, and I can find find more blogs with content similar to what I usually read. Since I always start with the “latest news” page in Reader, then I would have never seen the official announcement on the home page.


The following is a list of feeds recommended to me:

• The Quantum Pontiff
• Earners Blog: Get in the Know
• DCEmu Forums:: The Homebrew & Gaming Network :: PSP Dreamcast Nintendo DS Wii GP2X Xbox 360 GBA Gamecube PS2 Forums - PSP News Forum
• MaxConsole.net News
• Uncertain Principles
• PSP 3D
• Kernel Planet
• Planet Debian
• Planet GNOME
• Debian Package of the Day
• Digg / Gaming
• Digg / Entertainment
• Digg / World & Business
• Official Google Enterprise Blog
• Google Custom Search
• Google AJAX Search API Blog
• Chitika Blog
• ProBlogger Blog Tips
• Dosh Dosh - Making Money Online

How useful was the list of recommendations? To be honest, I have to say that I am a bit disappointed, because it displayed only big prominent blogs. I know they exist, and if I wanted to I would have already subscribed to them. What I am looking for is small blogs, like mine, that post similar content. Not the big guys, they get boring after a while. That is not to say the list was not accurate. Most of the blogs are very similar to ones that I am already subscribed to. Several of the recommendations are already in aKregator, my offline RSS reader.

So what feeds have been recommended to you?
