I have an email address only for WA (well, mostly.) I just go down through and pick out what I want to read. Sometimes there's some really good stuff in there, some things that have spurned ideas.

Most of what's in those emails are interests other people have that are actually what they are working on in their niches. That's not always the case, but then there are those that directly concern IM.

thanks everyone, this is what i'll do.

It's horses-for-courses. I'm not a big consumer of personal blogging here but I know a great many people who thoroughly enjoy reading other people's personal accounts and get identification and inspiration from doing so. In chat, a lot of us who work on our businesses full time do a lot of socialising there. OK, we could take it outside but then other people wouldn't benefit from having people around and at the ready to help out.

As BMN suggested, set your notifications to suit, don't follow people who write personal blogs and perhaps set up an email rule to automatically move all WAU notifications to a separate folder which you can peruse at your leisure. That's what I do. Rich.

thanks bigmoneynet .I did not know this..

If it helps any, you can go into your account settings and at the bottom you'll see notification settings. You can turn off what you don't want and keep the rest. Cheers!

It can get overwhelming at times. Just take what you need and leave the rest I guess. :)
