No matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to get my inbox below 150 emails for any length of time, and I’m loathe to do a DMZ and kill ‘em all… Can anyone hear the chirruping?

Just posted something over at my (newly setup) business blog, about user generated content:
The monetisation (revenue model) of user generated content?
Would love to hear your thoughts or opinions – we’ve really been racking our brains, and when you look at things pragmatically you think to yourself, “What the hell am I thinking – stop dreaming!” – yet, other people are doing it and making it work, so you kinda get on your horse and say “well if they can do it then I shure as hell can do it” – know what I mean?
So I guess it’s an exercise in discovering what your users need, and what they would pay for, so that you can make your service sustainable, and they still get value.
Would really appreciate any comments / thoughts
In the words of Yoda…
I confess, I used to be a feedaholic. No, I didn’t sit and read feeds all day, neglecting client work – my feed inbox just grew to gigantic uncomfortable proportions… But that’s all gone.
I’m recovered now, and vow never again to go over that magical 250 feed mark, where all hell breaks loose, sanity flies away, and it feels like the noise from everyone speaking inside your head just won’t go away…
So, I’ve pruned my feeds down to something manageable – most people have very little of importance to say on a daily basis anyways – and I’ve actually cleaned up my feeds folder so it’s at empty, waiting for the sync tomorrow morning.
So now I’m ready to do battle with the noise again, and even keener to pick up some more blogging, now that I’m getting back into my workflow and my zone, and have come to terms with the fact that I’m never going to lead a normal life, at least not for the next 3 to 5 years anyways…
