It depends why you want to keep up: if you're running a tech news blog and want to keep on top of everything, then ya that would make sense. If you're personally interested in trying the latest and (maybe) greatest, sure. If you're constantly looking to hop around companies who might be using the latest stuff, maybe.

Personally I don't really keep up. I just focus on my projects. Get something working. If I'm going to start on a new project, maybe I'll check out some of the new stuff and see if it suits my needs. Try something new one at a time but don't just learn things for the sake of learning.
