What’s your must read blog?
Today I get the great fortune of meeting the person who writes the blog that I read religiously (avc.com).
And it got me thinking, I’d love to know which blogs others consider their “must read”. Or maybe you’ve seen a list like that before that you can put in the comments here to share with the rest of us.
My must read is Social Media Today (http://www.socialmediatoday.com) I used to have a whole list of blogs I would check in Google Reader, but now I rely on Social Media Today to aggregate all the best posts out there. It also introduces me to new bloggers that I can follow on Twitter for more updates in the future.
I ready Jeremiah Owyang's Web Strategy blog (http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/) pretty regularly. I enjoy his insight on social media – and Social Customer Relationship Marketing in particular – helpful and informative. He and his partners at Altimeter are espousing “openness” in research/insights/etc. and I find that approach as refreshing as his views on the industry.
I'm definitely guilty of browsing for good headlines, but I'm a big fan of…
Mashable/TechCrunch/MobileCrunch
– For breaking tech, mobile and social media news.
PR Daily News Feed (https://www.prdaily.com)
– Excellent headlines, I read/RT more articles from there than any other blog – although this is more of a mashup of major headlines with some original content from MyRagan.
SmartBrief (https://www.smartbrief.com)
– Favorite place for industry news – also like check out Mediabistro for that too.
Marketing Charts (https://www.marketingcharts.com/)
– Always shares great research/studies – doesn't always have the best headlines. NielsenWire is usually good too – but doesn't have as much content.
I also try to regularly check some of the unofficial/official blogs at Hootsuite, Twitter, Facebook, Google and WordPress.
Cracked (https://www.cracked.com/) , Switched (https://www.switched.com/), and Fail blog (https://failblog.org/)…gotta have some fun in the mix
Awesome list of some fun blogs by @sherryheyl
AVC is probably my most consistent read. Fred knows the social media & entrepreneurship realm very well…just look at his portoflio if you had any doubts!
in the digital music space, i wake up every day to catch myself up on the latest news via https://hypebot.com & https://digitalmusicnews.com …bob lefsetz (lefsetz letter) is also the most entertaining music critic around (try to get to his pieces as much as i can)
Seth Godin & Mark Cuban are two great guys that I follow as well.
lastly, i think atlanta's own @david_cummings has a great blog that will only to continue to grow from here
KevinVogelsang.com, of course!
I also enjoy the Frontal Cortex by Jonah Lehrer. Neuroscience type stuff.
