Three blogs to put on your radar
Posted in Social

I have been telling clients and contacts these last few weeks about three main blogs that I ready daily. To my surprise, none of the people have known about these blogs… but they should! This made me believe that maybe our readers aren’t aware either, so if you’re in to reading good marketing/technology/blogging blogs to help you with your own marketing, put these three at the the top of your read list.

- Problogger – This blog is for beginning bloggers, advid bloggers, money-making bloggers… you get the picture? If you’re looking to read up on how to improve your blog, this is IT! So check out the blog, get yourself subscribed and start working on your blog posts. If you’re really committed to improving your blog, consider his guide 31 Days to Build a Better Blog. I have looked through it and it has quality material.
- Mashable – This blog has a slant toward technology and social media, but it’s still a groundswell of amazing information. How-to guides, the latest news on the iPad, what Google is up to and what videos are trending on the Internet are just some of the topics you’ll find.
- Seth Godin’s blog – This is just another daily read on my list. He keeps his posts short and to the point, which makes it easy to keep up with yet adds a bit of zing to your marketing day. Typically inspiring, always informative.






My top three are Mashable, Lifehacker and Smashing Magazine.
Nettuts+ – mostly tutorials on doing various web development tricks
Six Revisions – various tutorials, inspiration galleries, and round ups for web developers
ReadWriteWeb – similar to Mashable that Raquel mentions, but slants even more towards tech stories
A VC, Church of the Customer (when they post), and Social Media Explorer
