A Little Link Luv - My Fave Blogs
Posted on Oct 22, 2008 under Beth's Obs, Blogging, General Social Media, Guilty Pleasures, NTEN |
Every morning I wake up to about 500+ posts of some sort or another to read, so I decided to pass out a little link luv today to a few of my favorite bloggers.
- Marketing Misfit Blog - Mayra Ruiz is a wonderful lady with a fresh, strategic take on all things marketing.
- Inkthinker | Freelance Writing Blog - Kristen King does a great job with this blog for writers…and she throws in great contests and stories about her dogs.
- Chrisbrogan.com - Chris Brogan is a visionary in the social media space and is an all around nice, accessible guy. If you are the least bit interested in social media or marketing, check out this blog.
- NTEN - I love NTEN. In my opinion, if you are a non-profit, you should immediately run - don’t walk - and join NTEN. Membership is extremely reasonable, the people are fantastic and you will get so much information about nonprofits and technology you won’t know what to do with it all. And…if you sign-up, be sure to tell them that Beth Bates sent ya as I’ll get my renewal for free. Hey - what’s a little harmless promotion?
- FrogLoop - I really like Care2’s Frogloop blog although I do wish they would update it more often. Great resources for nonprofits as well as new initatives.
- Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology - I met Michelle at NTC 2008 and she is a fabulous resource for all things open source.
- The Responsible Marketing Blog - I just enjoy this blog. Patrick Byers does a great job of putting a socially concious spin on everyday happenings and products.
- Happenings, Advice and Other Technology Thoughts! - This blog by my friend, Shashi Bellamkonda, is chocked full of great thoughts, ideas and resources on technology.
- Pop Candy - OK, I get one guilty pleasure. I love USA TODAY’s Pop Candy blog by Whitney Matheson. She is incredible clever and witty and shares my obscure sense of humor. Live it. Learn it. Love it. POP CANDY.
- Basic Instructions - OK, two guilty pleasures. Basic instructions is HILARIOUS.
