What is a good blog that you like?

[ses5909]

Now, we all know you like your own blogs. I want to see other people's blogs that you like!

One that I have always enjoyed reading is must get hobby (http://mustgethobby.blogspot.com/). The way the girl writes just cracks me up. Very good blog IMO.

edit: It would be great to see those blogs that we all don't know about. Let's use this thread to discover new things out there!

I like to keep up with feminist news, just because I find feminism fascinating. I like to read the Feministing blog. I think it's really interesting. I'm also into a number of personal blogs, which I can't think of the name right now.

[ses5909]

Feel free to link to it Jewel.

[pbradish]

Copyblogger (http://www.copyblogger.com), Shoemoney (http://www.shoemoney.com), Problogger (http://www.problogger.com), and TechCrunch (http://www.techcrunch.com) are four that I surf daily.

[ses5909]

What about some lesser known blogs. Those blogs are all great, but they are very well-known

[Jeremy]

Sure thing. Here are a few others from my list:

http://www.10e20.com/
http://www.netbusinessblog.com/

... but I suppose most of those aren't exactly small either :)

[deronsizemore]

www.natewhitehill.com has some good info and it's about six months old I think.

[t(-.-t)]

I like lifehacker but it's gotten a little stale lately unless you're a total bittorrent noob.

[Jewel]

Sorry, I didn't know if I should link to it or not. Here's a few of the blogs that I like to read:

http://www.bloggingwv.com/
http://www.dollymix.tv/
http://www.inspireunderground.com/blog/
http://www.cherryflava.com/
http://elysesewell.livejournal.com/ (She was the second runner up on the first season of America's Next Top Model, and I just love her.)
http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/

There are so many others. I kind of skip around while reading, so I don't read each one everyday.

[dojo]

Don't like shoemoney or johnchow .. too many things I don't care about. But I read problogger with pleasure and the natewhitehill seems to be very interesting.I enjoyed it. I don't go with the crowd and many of the well known blogs are just not interesting to me: too many tech news (don't like techcrunch either) .. and I just don't care about the new products in the IT business .. or what the blogger did in his vacation. If I want to read web development stuff than that's what I want .. and I also enjoy seomoz. I have very few blogs I read and bookmarked, I am picky since I don't have time for too many reads.

That's why you need Google Reader ;) You don't have to be as picky then, you can just subscribe and quickly browse

Shoe's blog hasn't been as good as it used to be as of late, and I really never cared for John Chow. Once I saw that he was promoting Agloco, I left for good ;).

[deronsizemore]

Shoe's blog hasn't been as good as it used to be as of late, and I really never cared for John Chow. Once I saw that he was promoting Agloco, I left for good ;).

Yeah, he still does promote it I think. Seemed really spammy to me. I don't even think anyone has made a dime from it yet, have they? Yet people still are thinking they will?

[Cedric]

Heard he's being rude to his readers, I don't know? Maybe some people are governed by their ego? There's this blog which I will not miss everyday, and I thought a lot of you may know about this great celebrity gossip blogger -
www.perezhilton.com

He's the QUEEN of all media! Wooo.

[pbradish]

Yeah, he still does promote it I think. Seemed really spammy to me. I don't even think anyone has made a dime from it yet, have they? Yet people still are thinking they will?

Nope, not a dime. I suppose you can't blame him for promoting it as their previous venture (All Advantage) did have a nice track record until it went belly up in the dot com bust.

Regardless, I've never been a fan. :cool:

[BlogBookmark]

I'm always on the look out for celebrity, humor, and general oddities to link to.

So if you post it here I'll likely link to it on DailyD (http://www.dailydistractions.com) ;)

[Jewel]

I never really liked the Perez Hilton blog. Somethings on the blog are actually slightly humorous, but I just think that it takes too many cheap shots that aren't really that funny.

[Cedric]

Jewel, one thing i hate about him is he makes fun of young kids, they are so innocent but he just loves calling them all sorts of names. That's too cruel.

[t(-.-t)]

I hate celebrity blogs, but I hate celebrity news in general. If I want to know what's going on I can scan the tabloid covers at Publix while I check out.

[Calypso]

I like to read blogs by other writers, so I can get an idea of what works and doesn't work for them. A few of my favorites are:

http://devonellington.wordpress.com/
http://susandhigginbotham.blogspot.com/
http://www.bubblesinmyhead.blogspot.com/
http://www.blairhurley.com/2007/08/writing-exercis.html#comment-78726942

Enjoy :)

[Christina]

Mmm some of the lesser knowns I frequent are...

Broke-Ass Student (http://www.brokeass-student.com/) - Great blog from a full-time student with a limited income who strives to obtain financial awareness and prosperity.

Ririan Project (http://ririanproject.com/) - Nice site with some great personal development articles.

[HAWK]

One that I have always enjoyed reading is must get hobby (http://mustgethobby.blogspot.com/). The way the girl writes just cracks me up. Very good blog IMO. Classic! She's hilarious! What she REALLY must get though, is a new wallpaper for that site!

[ses5909]

Classic! She's hilarious! What she REALLY must get though, is a new wallpaper for that site!

Oh yeah her blog REALLY needs a makeover. She could probably throw up some ads and earn enough money to pay for her own theme in a just a few weeks.

[ses5909]

I just found this blog called Fresh Arrival (http://fresharrival.com/) which looks cool to me. It's about page says

FreshArrival was started to bring one awesome thing to our readers every day, in just about any category you can think of... including movies, music, photography, art, home life, websites, services and much, much more.

[Bloggeries]

Feel free to revive the old thread. I have made it a sticky so it can always be at the top and anytime someone sees a blog they would recommend to others, they can put it here.

You asked for blogs that people don't know about. I have a few (besides my own :). Here it goes:

1. Natespost | Make Money Online (http://natespost.com) Very new blog, the man is broke and unemployed and documents his journey every step of the way, on his road to online wealth.

2. The Wheel is Turning, but the Hamster is Dead s like a journey of ineptitude without the clever bit. (http://wheelturninghamsterdead.com) Just discovered this one, very interesting. The man writes non-sensical stories, you can send him a few unrelated words, and he'll write you a wonderful story based on them. I sent him 4, and the next day he wrote the story!

3. http://12beersaday.com Another new blog, the man who writes it LOVES beer, and has a fantastic sense of humour! And, of course, in every one of his posts mentiones how much he loves drinking beer. He makes me laugh

I'm always looking for new interesting blogs, so I'll post more soon!

[Evan]

Some new ones I've found.

On Business
Making Sales Making Money (http://makingsalesmakingmoney.com/blog/)

On writing for blogs
Remarkable Communication (http://remarcom.typepad.com/remarkable_communication/)

On self-development from a broadly buddhist perspective
the urban monk (http://www.urbanmonk.net/)
The Middle Way (http://themiddleway.net/)

For a blog about the personal dimensions of social activism
ripples of improvement (http://www.ripplesofimprovement.com/)

And they are all well written too.

[FireTown]

General Marketing Blog (http://www.generalmarketingblog.com)

[A Garcia]

One of my favorite lesser known blogs is PixelSpread (http://pixelspread.com/) Published by a design student who always brings something new, creative or just darn interesting! Lesser known great read!

[FireTown]

I also like Sphinn: News, Discussion Forums & Networking For Search & Internet Marketing Professionals (http://www.sphinn.com) a lot

[corym]

Culture Strain (http://culturestrain.blogspot.com). Excellent writing style, totally hilarious commentary on Australian pop culture, says everything we are thinking. Also contains a bit of colourful language, so some might people be offended.

But if you can overlook the seldom use of f words, you'll have a blast.

Blogging Tips Custom Banner Designs at DatMoney.com (http://www.datmoney.com) I liek a lot

[Arwen]

Because I'm in the process of building my own home based business, I'm really into business blogs by other home based entrepreneurs.

IttyBiz (http://www.ittybiz.com/): She give great marketing advice for the micro-business owner. Careful, though, she swears but she's super nice and cool.

Self Made Chick (http://selfmadechick.com): Another business blog. She inspires me because she was able to go from broke to six figures in a year and a half. And she's just an all around cool person.

Indie Business Blog (http://www.indiebusinessblog.com/indie_business/)- Another blog that gives great marketing advice. Also a very nice lady.

Dave Navarro (http://www.davenavarro.com/wealthblog/) - Is a time management consultant with awesome advice about managing yourself and your life.

[CodrutTurcanu]

In my opinion the good blog is the one which is providing enough value to its readers and online community.

Think from this perspective and everything is in place for you.
