To rectify this, I started by identifying my Top 10 bloggers. Why? Because I get the most value out of their writing. I’m going “old-school” on them and actually visiting their blogs every day and reading their content in it’s “native environment” instead of the text in a feed reader. The reason for this is because I believe that greater understanding and enjoyment of their work is gained on their site. (btw – the position on the list is irrelevant, I just pasted them in as I decided on which ones I wanted.)
So here are my Top 10 Bloggers:
- Chris Brogan
- Kent Newsome
- Mathew Ingram
- Brian Solis
- Liz Strauss
- Doc Searls
- Brian Clark (CopyBlogger)
- Darren Rowse (ProBlogger)
- Dan Schawbel
- Chris Cree
- Jeff Pulver
Earlier I had Twittered that I was going to remove their feeds from Google Reader while I do this – not sure about that after I think about it. It’s easy to jump over them by hitting “j”, so I may just leave them there.
Also, I took a real hard look at some A-Listers and in the end decided to look at the value of the content. I believe that these 10 11 blogs are interesting enough to spend time there, reading, interacting and enjoying the experience.
