You are the weakest link... goodbye

While it is usually difficult to decide whether to place someone's blog on your sidebar or in your blogroll, it is probably more difficult to remove someone. This afternoon I had to face that kind of decision-making.

Sometimes it is a personal decision based on something another blogger has done or said that has really upset you, but I think in most cases when you remove someone, it isn't really personal at all, and none of my removals were personal. Most of my pruning was aimed at blogs that haven't updated in a long time or ones which I no longer read, and so I can't really recommend anymore. It wasn't personal, it was just the feeling that on some of these blogs I didn't think that I could contribute to the conversation, and if I couldn't really participate, I felt weird reading about them, like I was a peeping tom or something, so I decided to cut my losses so to speak.

Now that I've started to think about my reasons, I am wondering what criteria do you use to make a decision about removing someone from your blogroll.

Of course, I may regret the title of this post, but since I am all about the pop culture, I thought it was fitting, if old.
