FeedSpot? Do Blogs Really Matter?

Dear Anuj of FeedSpot

Having no commercial goals for my blog I may not be the right person to ask about  features that would be most useful.  I enjoy photography.  Yet there are hundreds of websites and blogs that offer technical and inspiration guidance.  There is PinInterest which allows me to "Pin" and "Like" "Share" or "Follow".  All with slick commercial links so I can buy stuff.

In the end, the sole purpose of my blog is find others in the world like me.  Those who see what I see.  Not for agreement, just have a sense of what I am embracing. 

I don't have a Facebook account because Mark Zuckerberg has already made enough money from peoples lives. 
Advance data searches and face matching algorithms are features that I will not be embracing.  To me forcing disclosure of the details of our lives can be left to the NSA . Maybe a little anonymity is what we are really lacking in a full disclosure environment.

The picture is Saigon 2010 late summer.  Temperature is about mid 90's.  You can actually see the water dripping off his left hand.  It is a little reprieve from my rant and one of the reasons I can't get enough of Vietnam.
