Keeping up with chatter in the blogosphere can be a full-time job in itself. Here are some free resources that will help you make sense of it all. Many offer e-mail subscriptions that keep your updated on new content.

At the top of any list should be Robin Good's RSSTop55 Best Blog Directory And RSS Submission Sites, which is a directory of more than 160 sites that index the Web in general and blogs in particular. This is an awesome list that is continually updated by Robin Good and a team of volunteers who add their own picks via comments. We are not worthy.
