Recommended online sources

Where do I get my information? The Internet continues to be an information overload zone, so to prevent that glazed over look, I’ve compiled sources that I tend to go to.

Here are my Delicious bookmarks: Here’s where I tab the articles I’ve read and want to remember.

Blogs I read

Social Media Explorer: Jason Falls, all around funny guy and smart experimenter in the social media realm.

Web Strategist: Jeremiah Owyang is a Forrester analyst that covers the social computing space.

Being Peter Kim: Peter Kim, former analyst with Forrester whose blog generates a lot of good conversations.

GrokDotCom: Published by the Eisenberg brothers over at Future Now, Inc., I continue to find this enewsletter/blog packed with real information you can use to improve your online presence.

New Thinking: Gerry McGovern’s weekly newsletter on content and content management issues. Insightful, sometimes pompous, but usually thought provoking.

Other online resources

Kutenda: Ok, a little shameless promo here for what I’m doing now, which is helping launch a set of Internet marketing tools and training to meet the demands of the small to mid-sized business market,

Twitter: I get links to lots of articles through the people I follow on Twitter. You can see here who I follow, as this gets added to all the time.

FriendFeed: I am in a few groups on Friendfeed that also tend to have good conversations and posts.

Mediapost: You could spend your whole life just reading MediaPost. They offer free subscriptions to many different focuses in the media space (online, TV, search, etc). They have a pretty terrible subscription interface, but some good columnists, like Kendall Allen and Max Kalehoff.

Other good sources: Andy Beal’s Marketing Pilgrim, Lee Odden’s Top Rank Blog, K.D. Paine’s Measurement Blog, and others that I am forgetting right now. Ultimately, the great thing about online community is you can find links on others based on what they find interesting.

Filtrbox is how I find other interesting articles and blog posts. It’s a great little tool you can use to filter down to just the topics you want to read about. This way, I hardly have to bother with looking at the overwhelming backlog in Google Reader.
