And I must emphasize the point that it is MUCH easier to draft an authoritative blogger than to try and subscribe to news searches, filter aggregators, etc. on a subject...it goes back to your earlier curation metaphor. An interested subject matter expert is almost always preferable to simply a keyword search (which they probably use as one of many tools to develop their collection of information). I presently am in the process of actively winnowing most aggregation feeds and high-traffic sites from my RSS reader. In their place, I pick and choose the really high-quality individuals that they have brought to my attention. For most topics, I find this to give me by far the best signal-to-noise ratio. Of course, for very general-interest type subjects, sometimes the popular sources are worthwhile. But as a rule, I find I'm much more satisfied with links directly "to the source".
