Not so much.

I did an experiment. Over the past two weeks I had zero time and extreme pressure on many issues that I couldn't even entertain my mind off of.

Therefore I decided to stop reading them entirely.

Two weeks later, I come by and it's all still the same. I can't find a single headline that would have effected me decisively in any way:

• nothing that would make me change a decision of mine
• nothing that would change my decisions in an indirect way. Not a musing, no inspiration, no nothing.

Nothing that I hadn't already thought of, or already sort of knew by looking at announcements that were made at shareholder meetings. I wouldn't have guessed much of what eventually happened in these two weeks though if I were just reading regular blogs. The top 5 of tech for example.

In retrospect, I am now forced to categorize tech blogs in entertainment or techtainment if you will.
