Everyone has their favorite blogs and websites. For me, I focus on a few industries and topic areas that really interest me, professional based resources for marketing and sales, news sites that I think are a cut above the propaganda and spin news cycles that dominate in the U.S., and sites / blogs that are genuinely well-written, informative and funny.
This is not an exhaustive list. For example, I did not include GovCon related websites like Federal Computer Week or FedScoop and others, because while that is an industry I track and I am involved in – I do not read those websites and blogs every day. I will write a separate blog post for government contracting sites. I also did not include sites that are not updated often enough – though they have some awesome insight (For example, The Consumer Factor has great research on consumer behavior, but Fanny Perreau does not write often enough unfortunately – only a few times a year.).
Therefore, here are my Top 50 Blogs to read each day if you’re interested in marketing, technology, media, education, retail, online / mobile search and entrepreneurship. The list is sorted in alpha-order by category.
