One tip that I picked up from Juergen of Random Good Stuff fame is to send out a thank you email when a new site first quotes and links to you. This is a great way of making new human contacts with sites that are related to yours.

Do you send out the email manually, or make an automatic reply?

They become protective of their visitors and don't like to link out to other bloggers in case they lose a set of eyeballs. But blogging is all about doing just that - reaching out to other bloggers, linking to other sites of interest, and helping your visitors discover new sources of information. Get it right, and people will keep coming back for more. (Great blog, by the way.) It’s all too easy for new bloggers to become ‘insular’ in the way they think.

I usually find my "next feed" (sounding like an addict now :P) this way since searching for new blogs is both a pain and can really be hit/miss on the quality. I figure if the current blog found another blog worth quoting then it's probably worth checking out as well. One thing that you haven't brought up yet and am looking forward to a post on is quality over quantity when it comes to blogging. Too often I see 20+ posts a day on some blogs (*cough gizmodo at 17 before noon today *cough) that really could have been condensed into 5-10 quality posts IMO. If your only reading one blog that's fine but most are reading 5+ so it's time consuming wading through all the less interesting posts.
