Fun Friday: Blogs We Read
I am going with another reader suggestion for fun friday. Blog discovery is still too hard. There are so many great blogs out there and it is still too hard to find them.
So today we will list blogs we read that folks might not know about.
I will start it off with a few that I enjoy:
The Gurgling Cod – written by a friend's brother. It's mostly about food, but also veers into culture and politics from time to time.
Techman's World – written by AVC community member Michael Hazell. It's mostly tech reviews, news, and commentary.
Tracey Talks – written by screenwriter and author Tracey Jackson. Tracey Talks is a wide ranging blog about life, culture, and other interesting stuff.
Arnold's Wine Blog – everyone here knows Arnold. And Arnold knows wine. Enough said.
Becker Posner Blog – written by University of Chicago Professors Richard Posner and Gary Becker. This is the home of serious thought on the web. Amazing stuff.
AndySwan.com – nobody does the "picture plus a few choice words" thing better than Andy.
So those are a few of my regular reads that folks might not be reading and should. Now we open it up for everyone to chime in with their favorite blogs that folks might now know about.
Comments (Archived):
I follow electoral-vote.com pretty religiously during election season. It’s got a map of likely distribution of electoral votes based per-state polling data, and some pretty in-depth and insightful analysis of political issues of the day.
my favorite election blog is Nate Silver’s which he sold to the NY Times http://fivethirtyeight.blog…
i cut down significantly on blog reading, subscribing mainly to aggregators or larger news organizations. john hagel — edgeperspectives.typepad.com — is a big favorite of mine in the internet space. jim sinclair — jsmineset.com — and martin armstrong — armstrongeconomics.com — for global economy and financial markets.
good ones!
Thanks for pointing me @ edgeperspectives.typepad.comFirst read = “From Race Against the Machine to Race With the Machine”Great stuff !
Open right now in Opera I have: AVC.com (obviously), Mark Suster’s bothsidesofthetable.com, Rohan’s alearningaday.com, GG’s gothamgal.com, and Brad Feld’s feld.com. These are all regular fixtures for me.Others I dip in and out of.
rohan!!!!!
Wow. Such exhalted company. I am honored, John!And I think Fred is expressing his shock.. haha
It’s one of my first stops in the morning. I like it because it so obviously open and personal, and regardless of whether I think I have something to contribute, it gets my mind working. All credit to you.
Ah. Thanks Fred. :)My favorites – Seth Godin’s Blog – Right up there – http://sethgodin.typepad.com/Joanne – http://www.gothamgal.com/Mark Suster used to be up there but he blogs less these days – http://www.bothsidesoftheta…Bijan Sabet – http://bijansabet.com/Brad Feld – http://www.feld.com/Also like Study Hacks by Cal Newport – http://calnewport.com/blogAVCer blogs – I have a whole host of them on my reader so will probably list the regular ones – Charlie’s blog – http://diggingintwo.blogspo…Aaron – not as regular as before but still around – http://www.aaronklein.com/Andy Swan – http://www.andyswan.comJan Schutlink – http://blog.ideatransplant….Kevin Marshall – http://falicon.com/ (I realize I forgot this one on my initial list)
Hey thanks for the late addition!I’m often leading up the rear…especially these days as I’m out trying to help my son train a bit for Cross-country (I’ve discovered I’m not anywhere near in the shape my brain thinks I am)…so last, but eventually there, is something I’m getting used to 😉
Hehe. I was picking up a few blogs from my Google Reader real quick! And I’m sure I missed a few more..And about shape, I like this quote (surprise surprise)’I am in shape. Round is a shape’
Other blogs?! I’m only on AVC all day !
my favorite jazz blog is ethan iverson’s “do the math”: http://dothemath.typepad.com/ethan plays piano with the bad plus, and does deep listening/writing/research.
ooh. i had not heard of this one. thanks!
http://brainpickings.org – an ad-free curation – is one of my favorites.
One of my favorite Sunday reads!
nice call emily
yes, a great one, almost a daily read for me !
Some great suggestions here! Particularly like Arnolds Wine, which I hadn’t seen before.I have been reading/viewing Tokyobling’s blog for ages: http://tokyobling.wordpress… Great photography, insights into Japanese culture and easy reading.The rest of the time I tend to be writing at http://www.artemis.bm/blog/ which is not quite such easy viewing 🙂
tokyo bling is awesome. our family is headed to tokyo at year end and this is going into my daily reads
So jealous. Tokyo is number one on my list of to-get-to’s.
I hear there’s a really cool new search related service that some blogs are installing which has the long term potential side effect of being great for long tail blog discovery. :-)Shameless half-plug aside, I’ve really been enjoying http://alearningaday.com from Rohan as well…for MMA stuff I read http://fiveouncesofpain.com daily (among a few others)…for forward web-thinking, I absolutely love Whitney’s blog at http://smr.absono.us (though he doesn’t blog nearly enough)…and for mobile stuff I devour all of Luke W.’s stuff at http://www.lukew.com
Lol. Maybe we should have a tumblr – 100 creative shameless plugs
Shameless is how I roll 🙂
nice plug. well played!
Yeah, Gawk.it is a pretty cool search engine. I just hopped on board a few days ago, and it is so cool that it can index comments.
++ for A learning a day. I can’t even escape it no matter how busy I get, it finds my inbox.
Your blog is a worthy mention too! (http://www.victusspiritus.com/ for those who don’t know)Lots of interesting reads =)
+1
Thanks, but I hardly post anymore. I have fun reading my old ones though.
I know, you switched sometime last year and I like to think it was a good experiment on your side, I hope to see more interviews, those were very truthful and enlightening
I am sure I have forgotten some important ones but here is my initial list in no particular order:Mark Suster – http://www.bothsidesoftheta…Brad Feld – http://www.feld.com/wp/Startup North – http://startupnorth.ca/ (number of different contributors with Canadian focus)Bijan Sabit – http://bijansabet.com/Ben Yoskovitz: http://www.instigatorblog.com/Mark MacLeod – http://www.startupcfo.ca/ (excellent sections on SaaS)Chris Dixon – http://cdixon.org/Fred Wilson’s AVC – AVC.comAlbert Wenger – http://continuations.com/Charlie O’Donnell – http://www.thisisgoingtobeb…
Are you stalking VCs? 😉
I never thought of it in such a way but it does look like I am 🙂 I am definitely interested in startups and VC relationships which is probably why I have tended to follow such posts. Unfortunately, VCs with good blogs posts are not a common place and that’s why these standout for me
I am a bit biased but this will also be a good exercise for Engagio users to check their own top sites they interact on as well as top sites their contacts interact on. This should reveal some of their favourite blog posts. It will be heavily biased towards those posts using Disqus but it should still be very useful
Tyler Cowen marginalrevolution.com
good oneat the top of tyler’s blog roll is Becker Posner
http://www.angrybearblog.com/ These guys are good.http://paul.kedrosky.com/ Good on Bloomberg West too.http://www.calculatedriskbl…http://www.zdnet.com/blog/m… Mary-Jo Foley on MSFT
i like Kedrosky
Blog discovery is tough.I find that the circle, even with great tools like William’s engag.io, is smaller and more ingrained than I thought.The ones I frequent the most are:-Charlie’s as he just speaks from the heart every day and each gesture in response is a conversation:http://diggingintwo.blogspo…-Aaron’s corporate blog as I’m not as smart as i should be on financial matters. He gets the consumerization of investing better than anyone:http://blog.riskalyze.com/-Kevin cause his rants on community from a developer’s perspective connect with my community obsession:http://falicon.com/-Andy's cause he just cuts through it:www.andyswan.com
Like Charlie’s too – its good stuff.
If I had to mention just one:http://www.artofmanliness.com – Possibly one of the greatest blogs out there! Lots of it applicable to business and entrepreneurship as a whole and a fascinating reading each time!some recommended articles (warning, can be quite lengthy, but definitely worth the time…):”How and Why to write your own personal manifesto ” – http://artofmanliness.com/2… (and as a bonus: http://artofmanliness.com/2… Invictus a poem by William Ernest Henley)”The Art of wordly wisdom” – http://artofmanliness.com/2…”The Generations of Men: How the Cycles of History Shape Your Values, Your Idea of Manhood, and Your Future” – http://artofmanliness.com/2… (refers to the Strauss-Howe Generational Theory, very interesting primer)”A Man Is Punctual: The Importance of Being on Time” – http://artofmanliness.com/2…”A Man Is Punctual: The Reasons You’re Late and How to Always Be on Time” – http://artofmanliness.com/2…”Count No Man Happy Until the End Is Known” – http://artofmanliness.com/2…
AoM is awesome.
It is indeed! Glad I’m not the only one here =)
wow. that’s a new one for me. thanks
Ha! Great! Let me know what you think of it when you have the time to read one of the articles =)
I loved their “how to whistle through your fingers” post.
I hope this is literal. I would so love to add this to my skill set. I was thrilled when my NYC hotel doorman actually did this to hail a taxi for me.
Literal. http://artofmanliness.com/2… Good luck!
Thank you!
Pas mal cette liste. Merci.
I’m not going to bother list tech blogsFoodHunter, Angler,Gardener, Cook – http://honest-food.net/Michael Ruhlman – http://ruhlman.com/PoliticsAndrew Exum – http://www.cnas.org/blogs/a…Andrew Sullivan – http://andrewsullivan.theda…Reason – http://reason.com/Red State – http://www.redstate.com/OperaI'm probably the only straight guy in the world who reads http://parterre.com/http://operachic.typepad.co…Mischttp://artofmanliness.com/
well done. a ton of good stuff in here Erik
Steve Blank – http://steveblank.com/Also, two blogs I love that document the food scene in Queens:Queens Love – http://queenslove.tumblr.com/Amuse * Bouche – http://www.bradleyhawks.com/
thanks. i’ve been looking for ways to connect to the queens food scene
http://www.Brainpickings.org as Emily mentioned is fresh fodder for a fresh brain! My daily diet of quirkiness might help a few, less a blog, more a tuning fork for the whole person http://www.therepliesbook.comAnd, the entrepreneurial/VC blogs mentioned here all add to the delight of being informed and sometimes challenged.A couple more to go: http://www.ideachampions.com for good collections of quotes and thought-prompting, and then, for those who ever need to get a message across in writing http://writetodone.com is a concise and helpful coach.
Favorite obsessions besides AVC? thesartorialist.com, themorningnews.org, and the usual mainstream and business press outlets.
you gotta love the sartorialist
I like The Sartorialist too. I’m also a big fan of http://lookbook.nu/
i like lookbook on tumblr. But I’ll never look like a lookbook-er
http://www.jamesaltucher.com/ – James does a great job of “bleeding” – he writes from the gut every day.http://sethgodin.typepad.co… – Got to love Seth…http://projects.nytimes.com… – NYT corner office articlehttp://onstartups.com/ – Dharmesh Shah’s great start up bloghttp://pogue.blogs.nytimes…. – Love David Pogue’s tech insights columnhttp://blog.penelopetrunk.com/ – Penelope has great insights. She came to my class last year and shocked every student – but each one valued her time and talent!
http://www.goodmorningandgoodnight…No thought involved – just refreshing photos, quotes, songs, videos, and other tidbits. Great brain food in the morning. Unfortunately, Basheer Tome, who curates it, has stopped posting fresh content. Still loads to look at though.I also swing by http://www.wearenytech.com every once in a while.
is Basheer done?
With the blog? Yes. We’ve explored the possibilities of me taking it over but he’s protective of his baby and it’s probably too much of a time commitment. He was getting a staggering number of visitors per month on average when he finished. Long term though, “done” is not the word to use to describe Basheer. He’s going to accomplish huge, huge things.
that’s too bad. he is good.
Another Fun Friday Suggestion for next time: Favorite 5 twitter people you follow 🙂
Bronte Capital – http://brontecapital.blogsp… Australian hedge fund manager who shorts frauds.Distressed Debt Investing – http://www.distressed-debt-… – Great insight into an asset class that doesn’t get a lot of coverage.Brooklyn Investor – http://brooklyninvestor.blo… – Great valuation write ups. Generally on firms in the financial space.
Outside of the tech and vc blogs listed here, I’m a big fan of:http://www.boston.com/bigpi… – favorite news photography bloghttp://goldenscissors.info/ – Great for new musichttp://www.adweek.com/ – just for entertainment
The Big Picture is awesome
The original editor left Boston.com and moved over to the Atlantic and is doing the same this there as well – http://www.theatlantic.com/…
Yeah, Alan Taylor has to be credited with inventing it.
Thanks. I had no idea
For food, I’m a big fan of http://eater.com/The individual city blogs (sf.eater.com ny.eater.com) are each written pretty much solo by an editor so they have a pretty personal feel for a (niche) network.
racked by the same crowd has a similar awesome feeling!
The Gotham Gal (and therefore me too) has an investment in Curbed, the parent of Racked, Eater, and Curbed
http://infoproc.blogspot.com/
http://moslereconomics.com/ different view on the economy from the MMT perspective
Seth is a daily read:http://sethgodin.typepad.com/Sadly, two of my favorites don’t write often, but when they do, man they are golden:Jerry: http://www.themonsterinyour…Andy: http://blog.aweissman.com/
Andy and Jerry are the same kind of person
Hmmplanet money is among my favorite blogs in the world http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/ I think I’ve learned more about economics and daily life from them than any other site ever!I generally check on Tablet (www.tabletmag.com) and The atlantic pretty regularly.I’m also a big fan of Heshy Fried’s frumsatire (www.frumsatire.net) and dovbear (www.dovbear.blogspot.com). Occasionally I’ll take a look at Unpious (unpious.com). But those I think are going to be particular to me. I also regularly check in on the the forward’s sisterhood blog, for similar reasons. I think sometimes I just want to eyeroll at the internet.I have a deep abiding love for The Gotham Gal who needs no introduction – good food and good reads on urban life. Smitten Kitchen has lots of yummy food, including a great recipe for kale chips.Satorialist has already come up – refinery29.com hasn’t. I also love the moment by the NYTimes. I avoid reading them too much because they give me the wants. Not so good :)Also – hyperallegic (http://hyperallergic.com/) for art. Definitely one of the best art blogs out there.
Great list shana
Ooo, I also forgot that the first blog that I used to read – yutopia (www.joshyuter.com) is still publishing, albeit in podcast form most of the time. He’s a good friend of mine now. And umm, I’m looking to set him up with a girlfriend….
Some popular CS/Academia blogs that I follow. Not sure if they are fun though. 🙂 http://matt-welsh.blogspot…. http://lemire.me/blog/ and http://mybiasedcoin.blogspo….
Thank you so much for including me in this list Fred. I am truly honored. I came out of the gym and my Chartbeat alert was in overdrive. I had not read my mornings blogs yet so didn’t know the heavy traffic came from you…You made my week!
You’ve been AVC’d
Your listing of my blog did the same — now I hope that I have caught some more regular readers. Once again, I thank you a lot.
Some of the more interesting ones I read are:- ScoutingNY (a NYC movie location scout): http://www.scoutingny.com/- The Atlantic Cities (urbanism, transit, etc): http://www.theatlanticcitie…- Stuff Magnified (my microscope blog): http://stuffmagnified.com/
Great post idea. New blog discovery can always use a kick in the ass.
If you’re interested in economics, Greg Mankiw’s blog is a must-read: http://gregmankiw.blogspot.comIn college, Professor Mankiw’s textbooks were the only ones I ever read for fun.
i loved that textbook!
Don’t make decisions without it 🙂
For visual representations of just about everything http://ilovecharts.tumblr.com/
On the business side @JonahLupton had an extensive list of business/startup movers and shakers to follow. I can’t find the link.On the military, veterans and foreign affairs side of the house I recommend:www.iava.orghttp://www.fideliseducation…http://smallwarsjournal.com/http://armordown.blogspot.com/http://hotmilkforbreakfast….http://ricks.foreignpolicy….www.helloim.me (shamless plug)Did not get the job we talked about this week.
Aside from the usual suspects already mentioned here, I tend to follow post links that Engagio is discovering for me. That said, here are additional outliers I like to read:Anil Dash Dashes http://dashes.com/anil/ (Extremely well written)Jay Rosen Press Think http://pressthink.org/ (if you can put up with the occasional rant)Vinnie Mirchandani Deal Architect http://dealarchitect.typepa… and New Florence (Vinnie is really good)David Winer http://scripting.com/
Winer is one of my role models. I read him back in the mid 90s when email was his form of publishing
I agree. My first blog was on @davewiner platform Radio Userland and Manila. I just googled and found indexed entries with my old Radio Userland site dating to 2003.
@wmoug:disqus “Aside from the usual suspects already mentioned here, I tend to follow post links that Engagio is discovering for me.”Me too, William. Engagio’s morning shot leads me to places I’d otherwise not stop by. AVC is truly my central blog. I wish Jerry would post more since that was my first favorite blog. I read so little, I mainly look at pictures. I always have to tell the judge that when I am on jury duty. They look at me like I am so dumb I can’t read. Even more so when I am a blonde.
Thanks PT. Nudge Jerry. I’ve never been on JD but got the pre-selected letter twice then nothing.
You know, I don’t really read blogs. Don’t get me wrong, I read a LOT of blog posts. I’m an information junkie of the worst kind.But these days I follow people either on G+ or Twitter, and I read interesting articles they post wherever they are. A lot of the content I read this way concentrates on the same sources, though:AlterNet.orgTechDirtI wish the various services creating news feeds from Twitter were more mature (and/or while claiming to be mobile, only support iOS devices). I’d love to use news.me and Prismatic on my Android phone, but apparently Apple == mobile.I also subscribe to Hacker News RSS feed, and pick up any interesting articles that pop up.There are a few blogs I read regularly though.AVC (duh)Glenn Greenwald’s blog previously on Salon.com and now in GuardianMatt Taibbi at RollingStone.comTechCrunchColossal (http://www.thisiscolossal.com)
And Howard Lindzon’s http://howardlindzon.com/ !!!
+1 – he’s a master at adding entertainment to quality information…makes for a fun & educational read 😉
Trivia-ish stuff:http://mentalfloss.comhttp://futilitycloset.comWeb culture:http://laughingsquid.comhttp://kottke.orghttp://nextdraft.com (email newsletter)http://techdirt.com (different than the rest, more political)http://tywkiwdbi.blogspot.com/
Did not know that Posner had resumed regular blogging! Great to know.Three current favorites of mine:The Past Isn’t Past – http://byrnesms.blogspot.com/ – US Historian Mark Byrnes has an uncanny ability to put current events (mostly political) into the context of US history, You end up feeling like we as a society are still working out issues that have been on the table for two centuries.Crowdfunding Law – http://crowdfundinglaw.post… – This is THE place to go to continually refresh on what has happened in the equity crowdfunding movement in the last month or two. The site is written by Paul Spinrad, who has just the very right spirit of openness, evenhandedness, and inclusiveness to survey where things stand, who is doing what,James Fallows’ Atlantic blog – http://www.theatlantic.com/… – The pop up ads can drive you crazy but Fallows delivers new content all the time and gets real, writing with a passion about flying (he is a pilot) as well as the other things you’d both expect and NOT expect he’d cover as a national pundit.
Good ones
How about some ideas for blog readers? I want to move from browser to iPad to iPhone… I use iGoogle homepage, but need a better solution.Any ideas?
Device or web service?
Either or both… I guess in the perfect world it would be a web service with a cool app as well for the mobile devices.
i guess google reader would be my suggestion
There are numerous apps available for ios that use google reader for synchronizing. I use one called mobileRSS. It’s on both devices.(Wow, typing in disqus is awful in safari on iPad!)
There are plenty of great recommendations here including comments.+1 on Becker Posner blog.A few additions for the list:- Signal vs. Noise, the blog from 37Signals: http://37signals.com/svn- James Fallows, writer at The Atlantic: http://www.theatlantic.com/…
AVC is turning out to be a wealth of information like Wikipedia. Great post Fred!
Oh, you mentioned my blog! Thanks @fredwilson:disqus . Due to your post, my blog stats have sky rocketed. My page view line chart almost went straight up.Yes, you are right — blog discovery is a hard thing to do. Most of the time you would either have to mention your blog (and hope that people don’t interpret it as spam), or pay for advertising. You should do more of these. I didn’t even know you read my blog on a normal basis.Here is a URL of my current stats as of today.http://goo.gl/kqPkT
Awesome!
Thanks @falicon:disqus .
I especially like/appreciate that you shared the graph…so cool when you get random and unexpected spikes like that (also very rare in my experience);-)
Oh, and those stats are already outdated. I got more traffic too that Blogger didn’t register on my dashboard at the time.
you linked to it a while back and i started readingi think that’s the best way to get readers
Yeah, linking is good. The thing about it is that you risk your links being considered as spam. I’m glad that you are a regular, I am honored!
Realising I only really comment on Fun Friday posts… but some that have inspired me that I didn’t see already on this list:- Ian Rogers (music/tech/living well): http://www.fistfulayen.com/…- Blackdown (bass music culture and innovation in music): http://blackdownsoundboy.bl…- danah boyd (incredibly thoughtful exploration of youth culture & technology): http://www.zephoria.org/tho…- Sean Ellis (start-up marketing/strategy): http://startup-marketing.com/
great ones Ian
There is a ton of great blogs listed below so I’ll only list 2 blogs I love to spend time reading and letting my mind fly away.http://www.thisiscolossal.com/ As the creator says: “blog that explores the intersection of art, design, and physical craft”http://anafternoonwith.com/ Simple, clean and itimate interviews with very nice photos.Thanks for the vast knowledge you put here on AVC.Cheers from Argentina!
I’ve been helping out on a blog that started this year in April. I really like the guy behind it (Mason Myers) – Mason has been an entrepreneur the majority of his career – I think his involvement with the National Holistic Institute is worthy of taking note – While many private post secondary schools have seen major setbacks due to political and economic climates, NHI (a California massage therapy school) has continued to grow and expand – I think partly due to Mason’s approach on things like leadership, culture, and business in general. Mason makes practical observations and provides insights into the things he applies to his own businesses on the blog. And yes this is a shameless plug for my friend. As you note – Blog discovery is difficult. We’d appreciate it if some people would take the time to check us out – we would love to hear the feedback – especially from the AVC community (the AVC Blog was inspiration) – you guys rock!!! http://masonmyers.com
thanks. i will check it out.
Just tuning in for the day…- scanned quickly – did not see mention of Chris Dixon’s blog – Chris writes on great topics http://cdixon.org/Another one that I use to scan was Dharmesh Shah (founder of boston based start-up called Hubspot) http://onstartups.com/ advice for start-ups lots of dos and don’ts.Dharmesh is a smart & hard working guy.One more – jason hirschhorn’s Media ReDEFine – I get a daily email with links to blogs and or stories. http://paper.li/MediaReDEF/…
http://www.zerohedge.com/ Interesting analysis of the economy. It’s just enough information without getting too technical.
i like zerohedge
Fantastic recommendationsMy blog is more like the curio store around the corner than anything else http://lauriekalmanson.blog…#curiosity #ux #telegraphy etc
I forgot to mention the Kiss Metrics blog. It’s a treasure trove of advice to anyone who has an online business. http://blog.kissmetrics.com/
along the same lines I would add the Hubspot blog as another excellent resource http://blog.hubspot.com/
Business / tech:(this blog – duh)albert wenger: http://continuations.com/Paul Graham Essays: http://www.paulgraham.com/a…seth godin: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/brad feld: http://www.feld.com/wp/elia freedman: http://eliainsider.com/chris dixon: http://cdixon.org/Women Entrepreneurs / Food:Joanne Wilson: http://www.gothamgal.com/go…Bikes:Bike Exif: http://www.bikeexif.com/My Clipbook.it : http://clipbook.it/andyidsi… …yes I regularly view my own clipbook.it page :)Return of the Cafe Racers: http://www.returnofthecafer…Shed Built Bikes: http://www.shedbuiltbikes.com/Strange amazing:Mental Designs (steam punk) : http://mental-design.blogsp…Oddity Central : http://www.odditycentral.com/%5Bedit%5DArt:Street Art Utopia: http://www.streetartutopia….Ryan Seslow: http://theartofryanseslow.t…
I like the global nature of that Odity one. Cool.
You won’t be able to predict what you find up on oddity central :)theawesomer.com is pretty cool too ..but not really a blog.
Fred – thanks for Gurgling Cod – added that to the google reader fer shizzle.
you will enjoy it

nice choices
Love Andy’s Blog
THXTHXTHX is a cool site of positive thoughts – not really a blog – microblog? Found this via Seth Godin a while back : http://thxthxthx.com/Go there when you want to cheer up – it will not fail.
Fred, this post was very useful. Someday, could you do a post about Online Productivity Tools used by the AVC community?
I try to read http://www.ribbonfarm.com/ regularly, a source for interesting ideas on technology and other stuff – articles are long though – oh, and http://gapingvoid.com/ is also a good way to smile every day (I guess everyone knows that one). For more serious things http://confusedofcalcutta.com/
One of my favorites is “Seeing Both Sides” by Jeff Bussgang, a VC investor and Harvard Business School lecturer http://bostonvcblog.typepad….
wow! Really nice info you added here! well … I would say no one born as a hero .. but those all successful bloggers you see all around internet are doing hard work to have those top ranks , and of course , it takes time .. Quality is what counts , not quantity.
I also do tech tutorials as well on my site. If anyone wants to suggest what I should do next on Techman’s World, let me know. If anyone is interested in guest posting at my site, you can do that too. I have all links listed in my site’s footer.http://techmansworld.blogsp…
This is a wonderful article theme. What a great idea! Blog discovery is still tough these days!The most interesting blogs I read were already mentioned, and thus I will not repeat them here again. Still, for anyone interested in taking a peek at the Portuguese startup community, there’s a recent blog being run by a bunch of entrepreneurs called Portugal Startups (http://portugalstartups.com). It’s written in English and it’s one of the few dynamic tech/startup Portuguese blogs out there.I also like to follow “ben’s blog”, from Ben Horowitz (http://bhorowitz.com/), not mentioned by anyone yet I believe.
Have you seen mine?
I heard it for the first time with Fred’s mention
Cool!
Not a blog like mine but a comic. Abstrusegoose.com
@fredwilson:disqus I gave you a little love on my 800 posts page at my blog. I thank you a lot for mentioning my site, perhaps I could do a guest post here eventually if you have a tech topic that I could write about.http://techmansworld.blogsp…
