Well then, where should we turn for the best reading material - that which will fill our minds with blog post ideas, business insights and startling revelations of various kinds?
Instead of listing the 200 gazillion feeds I have stuffing my NewsGator account at the moment (don't worry, I expect to have that number down to about 5 gazillion in a week or two), I want to tell you about three excellent (and FREE) biz blogging feed sources that I've found.
1. Robert Scoble - There are way too many well over a thousand feeds at the Scobleizer's Bloglines account. I have found it well worth my time to scour Scoble's feed subscriptions. Scattered throughout are gems offering corporate blogging news and professional blogging insights. Few (if any) names are bigger in blogging at the moment - why wouldn't you want to know (and maybe even read) what Robert Scoble reads?
2. Steve Rubel - Another must-know name in the blogosphere. Check out Steve Rubel's Bloglines public blogroll. You'll find dozens upon dozens of wonderful resources about which to blog.
3. Amy Gahran - First, read Amy's explanation (and defense) of her online reading habits. Then download Amy's top feeds, her entire reading list and her podcast list. Finally, upload those lists into your newsreader and presto!
I've found the three resources above to be indispensable. They ought to keep you busy for now. If you're worried about information overload, read Ross Mayfield's recent post about the value of social networks in easing that burden.
Please share your favorite business blogging feeds with the rest of us!
Thanks for mentioning my blog and feeds, Easton.
Just to clarify, my list of podcasts won't do anyone much good in an ordinary feed reader. They should be imported into a podcatcher (like iTunes, iPodder, whatever) instead :-)
