Ardell gave out some homework to the apprentices.

I'm not big on whining, but I thought I'd do the assigments anyway. Here are my top 10 blogs outside of ActiveRain. In no particular order.

  • MacRumors.com - I check this one every day even if the feed reader says it hasn't been updated, just in case it's wrong.
  • How To Change The World - Guy Kawasaki. It's Guy Kawasaki. Nuff said.
  • Good At Getting Better - Kim Rickenbaker. I love Kim's writing and even asked her to be a guest writer on StopChildSlavery.com where she has contributed some good content . It's mostly poetry, with some experimental prose thrown in for good measure.
  • I, Cringely - Robert X. Cringely. This guy just "gets' Internet techology. An insider, like Robert Scoble, with his own unique insights.
  • Daily Writing Tips - I need all the help I can get. This blog covers the gamut, from grammar to writer's block.
  • Engadget - Because I kinda like technology.Project Blogger Logo
  • Extemporaneous - Naughty Heather. You almost have to read a blog when that's the author's pen name. Heather writes from a place that most of us have trouble finding, let alone exposing. Some might even object to it being so exposed. It's raw, often erotic and filled with visual imagery.
  • Scobleizer - Robert Scoble. The straight scoop from a geek insider. Scoble knows everyone. I think I mean that literally. His insights are valuable to me. And I loved his book, Naked Conversations.
  • Mashable - This blog is about anything and everything Web 2.O. The post from today is killer and comprehensive... 90+ ONline Photography Tools and Resources.
  • Mothers Fighting For Others - this blog was started by my wife and now has 10, soon to be 12 writers. I'm proud of the content they put and and I enjoy reading it and watching it grow.
  • John Battelle's Searchblog - I get many SEO blogs in my feedreader, but I like this one the best.

I needed this to be a top 20.

A few of those are in my top 10 as well. Of course since, I am a Web Design and SEO guy, I have to include searchengineland.com and mattcutts.com/blog in my list.

A great list. I particularly like CopyBlogger because it is short and to the point and I don't have to make a career out of reading it. I already subscribe to Daily Writing Tips-very good.

I have booked marked this great resource you so wonderfully compiled and I will learn and learn and one day I hope to be good at this. I have just logged my 100th post ( you didn't notice ) and feel good that i have hit this new milestone. I became active at the end of March 2007. Shoot, at this rate by the end of the year, I might even be able to explain what I am doing,lol

You asked me to let you know when the new site was ready. Try it for yourself. Would love your opinion. www.TheRealEstateTextBook.com

It is always wonderful to see you on and just know, I miss our conversations. Take care and many thanks for putting this together. Great Post.

{SVW Hubba}...

Now this is great stuff. I have never heard of some of these blogs. But now that I have I will have a look. Especially at the one about writing.

Boy...There are just times when I need a push on the whole writer's blog thing :)

Sarah... contrary to Teresa Boardman's opinion, I do not just spew out everything that comes to my mind. :)

Heather... I totally heart you as well.

Jason... Guy is someone you should read up on. Amazing history.

TLW [SVW]... writer's block? You?

Maureen... Heather will suck you in. Be careful.

Roberta & Julia... thank you!

This list was probably harder than the inside AR homework. Thanks for sharing your list. I know the techy ones would go right over my head. But this is still a great post to bookmark incase I ever get to a point where I feel like I could keep up / understand all the tech stuff.

PS- I've been away from AR for a few days and I like the new picture. Good to see you smiling.

Jeff - We welcome your new and updated list.  I have been following your many topics and I have been sharing them with my team members and other real estate friends.  Your blogs on technology are often a topic in my office when it comes to taking technology to the next level.  You have no idea how many people you have inspired.
