Which Are Your Favorite Blogs & Why?

Zach reading my blog

Since Jeff Pulver has started a new “Question of the Day” post, I will also add my own question for today: Which blogs are your favorite to read, and why? I personally enjoy reading the blogs of those people who not only tell you about the latest social network or software and how to use it, but rather actually have something to say about it. Bloggers like Kent Newsome, Jeff Pulver, and Robert Scoble, not only tell you about the latest product or development, but they state their opinions, add some context to all these developments we’re seeing around us, and often talk about the whole web 2.0 culture and its influence on our daily lives. Makes for a much more interesting reading than just hearing about “the latest whatever”.

Who are your favorites?

Thanks to xiaoxia for the pic.

    Thanks Chris.
    I would also add 'original' to your list. People who write original posts that you can't find anywhere else. I guess this could fall into 'interesting' as well.

    Categories of blogs I like:


    friends- people I know, or who I admire professionally from afar (and will someday meet)



    interesting- this falls into crazy disarray if I try to explain it, but goes everywhere from tech stuff to strange facts



    informative- I follow lots of people who find the good stuff for me, like Scoble, TechCrunch, Buzzmachine, etc.



    To give you my favorites by URL would crush your comment system. :) But suffice to say that of the 100s of blogs I now read regularly, some are because I love the people who write them, and many of the rest deliver actual usable information to my life.



    Great question.

    Many, many thanks for the kind words.


    I'm trying to rebuild my reading list (with your help), but at the moment I'd say the blogs I enjoy the most, in no particular order, are Louis Gray, John Watson, Nick Carr, OmegaMom, Vaspers, Tom Reynolds and Wally Bangs.
