It especially seems high because my experience at Training 2006 suggested that very few people in Corporate Training read blogs. 99% Blogs - 2.5%

But what you find doing this is that books and even more so magazines often have very little content that has any depth. It is a surprise to skim through a whole magazine not finding anything worth capturing. Fish around for other stuff on the same topic. Or even worse when it's a book.

If you look at AllTop itself, that's the value proposition they talk about as well – but using the magazine rack – casual browsing – metaphor. But why MyAlltop? What's confusing to me is the value of providing a means for person oriented topic hubs and the limitation to only feeds that already exist?

This sounds like a really good distributed version of a publishing model that is similar to what you would find at many magazines.

The reality is that many vendors offer expertise – but if CLOs are not willing to pay for accessing that expertise outside the classroom, then it's not going to work out from a business model perspective.

Certainly, I'd much rather scan the blogs in my blogroll than read a copy of Training Magazine. The magazine content never can go into as much depth, it can't cover as many topics, the content is at least six months old and it doesn't allow me to engage in a conversation around it.
