Is there a blog about mileage bloggers?

They are too many!

I can't keep up with all the mile bloggers...there is just not enough time in the day!!!!

They do often helpfully cross-post deals, but what I am looking for is a blog whose specific mission is to track, report on and summarize all of the mile blogs.

Is there such a blog? If not, would someone please start one!?

Ok, on closer examination, that blog is more Mileage Blog Daily Show than Mileage Blog summary. Clever, but less useful than I had hoped.

I'm looking for more of a blog scraper...just the deals being mused about on all the various points and miles blogs reduced and summarized in one place. @:-)@:-)@:-)

Good idea. Some of us have been thinking of starting one that automatically scrapes all the blogs, just the way they scrape from FT.

Yeah, that's what I do. It's a huge time saver. Don't forget to add some of the better German travel blogs if you're into trickit/super low fare stuff. Google Chrome will translate your reader into English if you can't understand the German, although you usually can. A screen shot of an itinerary is much the same in any language... :-)

Bloglovin also pulls in all your blogs in one place.

I use Google Reader for everyone's blog, but I find that http://travel-summary.com/ does a good job of consolidating.

I second Stinger101's comments.
We try to post the most relevant Miles/Points earning stuff.

Do you (or anyone else here) have a good master list of all the mileage bloggers (including the German ones)?

I appreciate the comment. What Travel Summary attempts to do is grab the most important updates from the last day or several days and consolidate them in bullet-point format with links to the original posting. I do write about many other topics, but towards the end of the day I try to write a post titled "Travel Summary" in which the important stuff is collected.

I personally check mileageupdate.com and the boarding area main page when looking for what to read.

Hope this helps!
