I've decided to trim back my infosec data sources as some of them have held decreasing value for me of late. The big change is that I'm reading most of my news through Google Reader, and so my desire to wade through piles of mailing list discussions has flagged. To that end, I've dropped three Security Focus mailing lists today: incidents, firewalls, and forensics. My biggest complaint was that these moderated lists were either feast or famine (though a malnourished feast at that). Moderators can help keep discussion on-topic, but if they're not attentive, then you get a slough of messages all at once. My other complaint relates to the high number of bounces from these lists. I responded to one post last week and proceeded to receive almost 2 dozen bounces. Quite the penalty for participating!
In other news, I've decided to start making use of the "Shared Items" feature in Google Reader. Feel free to subscribe to the feed at the following link, or you can revisit it by selecting the "My Google Feed" link on the right.
