Like most people I don’t get a newspaper anymore. Instead I get all of the information I need online, for free and without hurting a tree (in theory at least – there is the fact that a computer has hazardous materials inside and electricity isn’t exactly without environmental costs). These are some of my daily favorite reads – they aren’t in any particular order.
News:
- Drudgereport – Matt Drudge breaks most stories first and isn’t afraid to get close to controversal subjects. Occasionally there’s a story behind the story and the headline is much more controversal than the article itself, but he’s still worth the daily read.
- nytimes – David Pogue, Freakonomics blog and the absolute best Style section online. Couldn’t ask for better.
Google Reader list:
- Chris Brogan’s Blog – Chris is one of the leaders in social media in the US right now. I read his blog daily because he focuses on being helpful in his work and he succeeds. Many of his posts give step by step instructions to things that are so brilliant and common sense and helpful, and yet you’ve never thought of it. Some of his posts are just kind of silly, and those are nice too.
- Seth Godin’s Blog – Seth Godin is a modern Marketing icon. He always gets me thinking, even if it’s simply because I so strongly disagree. One thing I will say, I hate that I can’t comment on his blog. It’s all about him telling you what he thinks and not about the conversation at all. However, he’s in the position to make that choice, and I respect him for it.
- Go2Web20 – Orli Yakuel writes regularly about the latest happenings online. I read it to know about the latest apps (just in case I missed a mention on Twitter).
- Desire to Inspire – One can not live on tech alone. I feed my soul daily with a dose of incredible interior design images.
- ProBlogger – Probably the most helpful site for the blogger looking to monetize and build traffic. The best thing is, most of the information is transferable to other segments of marketing for a website or business.
- GigaOM – I have to admit that this is a new read that I found by asking Chris Brogan what he reads. I’m very happy I did.
- Adage DigitalNext – Find out the latest gossip in digital advertising.
- ReadWriteWeb – A lot like Chris Brogan’s blog in that it gives actual information you can use in business.
