I've had a similar thought. I read a LOT of these various blogs and I frequently ask myself whether its valuable and how much time I should invest in these. I've concluded its probably valuable and a few hours a week is probably the right amount of time.

I think where the value lies is in when I am asked to give input into product or technology strategy. Having a broader understand of the technology ecosystem is a useful foundation for making recommendations to my specific scenario.
