The World of Blogs

The World of Blogs

I must admit that I have a growing obsession with blogging these days. I think the citizen media movement is an important one and the opportunity share ideas, experiences and opinions have never been more needed.

Bloggers seem to come in three main categories:

1. The Tellers – they feel ticked off and are going to you why.

2. The Sellers – they are either selling something themselves or for someone else.

3. The Resources Group – they were library nerds as kids and now cannot wait to share every new interesting thing they find in the world (this would be me).

(All the links are listed in the left column of this page)

My favorite tellers

The Huffington Post – This is the biggest blog portal on the web. If you are any kind of news junkie this is the place for you.

The Onion – A political classic.

Tom Joyner - I must admit when something happens in the world of politics I look forward to what Tom will say the next. (we agree on a lot of things)

My favorite sellers

All Things Digital – they track what ever is happening in the world of technology and they update constantly. Today’s hot topic is what will the fall out be from the failed Microsoft bid for Yahoo.

The Bits/David Pogue – I’m an electronic toy junkie and this video blog is fun to watch because David Pogue is a far bigger nerd than I could ever be or want to be.

Duct Tape Marketing – Great ideas for marketing a small business and a very good portal link to other writers. They actually have some good tips for growing your blog that I am looking forward to trying.

Resource Bloggers

Cognitive Daily – If you have a fascination with the brain or psychology that always have very interesting articles and updates.

I read last week that there are 3,000 new blogs launched every week. Now we cannot read everything but I hope you are finding a few things to follow.

Tell me what you are reading - leave me a link to something new.
