I was going to try to go through my google reader shared items from this year and try to come up a list to end all lists. However, who am I to decide? On top of that, narrowing it down to a top 25 favorites was going to be a enormous task given the huge growth in quality SQL bloggers this year.
However, instead of giving you a list, I will give you a tool to find good SQL blog posts based on the collective conscience on the internet. Hopefully, you will see the value and join in making this tool better.
Popular Posts on “SQL Server”(RSS) from RSSMeme.
Behind the scenes in a nut shell
Blog software syndicates via RSS. Readers subscribe in google reader or their favorite reader but only google reader applies here. When a user in google reader finds a post interesting, he\she can share it. All of the shares are indexed by RSSMeme. The idea being is a human actually recommends the post. More shares the better. Sure, there are also sites like Digg and Dotnetkicks but the down sides to those make them less appealing to me.
A side effect
Using this link you can find recently shared items containing “SQL Server”. This can help you find new interesting feeds. You can also use it to find breaking new on SQL Server or whatever tickles your fancy. However, it may not be quite as real time as twitter.
Start sharing
So if you use google reader and don’t use the share functionality, start! And maybe, you too can be part of the Internet SQL Mafia ©. Westside.

P.S. Congrats to the Detroit Lions for their perfect season.
