I'm doing an informal survey to learn the top photo, outdoor and/or tech blogs regularly followed by fellow photographers. My interest in blogs/social media has only recently evolved. I'm discovering that there is a TON of killer information out there available at no cost. Many of you have been at this much longer than I and I think we could all benefit from your experience in the world of blogs.
With that in mind, let's open a discussion about your pick for top blogs. If you have the time to include a link it would be helpful to all of us.

I subscribe to :
Photopreneur, TWiP, Scott Kelby's Photshop Insider Blog, The On-line Photographer, Jim Richardson's blog, Chris Orwig's blog, The Pixelated Image blog and Photography BB. I also regularly surf for landscape photographer's sites to see what others are doing.

Bret, I do not participate in blogs. However, I like Tim Grey's e-letters in which he answers questions; plus informational e-mails from Better Photo and NAPP.

Thanks for the responses, Jim and Bill. I've not heard of most of the blogs/newsletters you mentioned. I'll check 'em out.
Let's hear some more, folks!

Bret - I occasionally just scroll through an NPN page with a ton of comments on it and look for the blog button under anyone's name. If it's new to me, or I haven't looked there in a while, I check it out.

I have two blog rolls. My photo blog roll consists of people probably familiar to everyone on NPN.

One that I frequent a lot is Alltop. It's an index of many web links. They have several photo related indexes, including this one - http://photography.alltop.com/

Great links, everyone. I'm finding lots of new sites/blogs to spend time on.

Just back from a road trip to visit the folks in South FL and catching up on things. I think this is an excellent question and topic. I've added some of these blogs to my list of blogs that I follow.
