I’ve received a few emails asking what RSS feeds I read regularly. I figured it would be a fun post to list the feeds I read and why. So without further delay, here is my list of subscribed RSS feeds (all the links below will link to their RSS feeds, not their websites).
Marketing / Affiliate
Dosh Dosh - I found this one about a year ago accidently. There are some very well written posts on this blog. They are usually long and very informative. Chris Bloczynski - I recently found this guy’s blog and it’s been a good read for me. A lot of discussion on writing and techniques. John Chow - I read John Chow because, well, who doesn’t read his blog? Peter Sanchez - What? I can’t verify that my RSS is updating correctly? So yea… I read my own stuff… OK! UberAffiliate - Very informative blog. A lot of tips & tricks from the affiliate marketing world. One of my favorites from this category. ShoeMoney - Not just a good source of information, but also for motivation. Guy has an awesome story. Quick Sprout - I recently read about this one on ShoeMoney. So far it’s a decent read, but I am still new here.
Tech
TechCrunch - Another one of those “Who doesn’t read this” blogs. Latest news on startups and any other happenings in Silicon Valley. The B-List - Very specific blog. Most of the posts are related to the Django project. Django is a python web framework that I have spent the last year learning & loving. WAC - This guy is actually a friend of mine. Works at google, finds tons of OS X bugs, etc. A lot of family posts as well, but hey, I couldn’t not list his blog too :) Found+Read - Blog about the internet technologies and new startups. Frank Addante - He’s got a founder blog which discusses his various businesses. Smart guy with a track record for success. Not updated that often, but it’s a good post when it is. Paul Stamatiou - I know, I can’t pronounce his last name either. This guy reviews all sorts of nifty stuff and has interesting posts that keep geeks like me coming back. Peter Sanchez - Umm.. cough Read/Write Web - News on startups, mergers, etc. Sort of like a smaller tech crunch but often profile startups that don’t make it to TC. Jason Calacanis - This is more of a personal blog of his but I do enjoy reading it. He is a successful business man who is also the founder of Mahalo.
Political
Donklephant - Awesome blog that I found when it was teeny tiny. It’s grown a lot in the last year or so and I am really impressed with the quality, considering it’s not the owners full time job or anything.
Misc.
Joi Ito - Personal blog of Joi Ito. I met him in Wellington, New Zealand at the ICANN conference. Very nice guy and a hugely successful internet entrepreneur. He has invested in so many “name brand” blogging and Web 2.0 startups that it would make your head spin. Matt Maroon - Former professional poker player turned Web 2.0 founder. I read this blog mainly because his posts are very refreshing. He has a style that’s all his own for sure. iJustine - I met Justine when she came in to LA and hung out with us at Groovr. She’s a sweet heart but when that camera is off, and she’s had a shot or two, well.. She’s still a sweet heart. Her blog doesn’t have much other than her crazy videos, etc. Good for a quick laugh. That’s about it. My list changes pretty often, but right now these are what I am reading. Most of these I have read for some time and don’t plan on abandoning any time soon. Am I missing any thing that you consider a MUST read? I happily accept recommendations.
