Blog Day – Some Recommended Reading
By Steve Poland • August 31, 2007
I was just pinged about Blog Day (thanks Carlos!):
What is BlogDay?
BlogDay was created with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest. On that day Bloggers will recommend other blogs to their blog visitors.
Here are just a few of the blogs I frequent that you may not know about:
Jeremy Liew of Lightspeed Venture Partners — this is a must-read for startups/entrepreneurs interested in ad-supported methods. He brings great insight/investigative ideas to the table a couple times a week typically.
Andrew Chen — he’s an Entrepreneur-in-Residence for Mohr Davidow Ventures. He brings some great insight to the table like Jeremy — doesn’t post much, but it’s good stuff.
James Hong of HotOrNot [note: problem loading his blog at moment] — here’s another. Here’s a must-read post on re-inventing HotOrNot (aka dropping a $500k/mo revenue stream).
The 3 of these guys I’ve just mentioned all are into the viral/ad-supported business models, social networks, and what makes people click the way they do. Lots of good behaviorial type stuff.
Non-Tech: Whitney of USA Today’s POP Candy — this gives you the latest on pop culture in all aspects (movies, TV shows, music) daily.
What bloggers do you recommend? Post in the comments.
