Happy Blog-Day – 5 Blogs for you!

Hello everybody,

Today is blog-day, the day we geeks celebrate the new digital age, where every word, thought, sight, and sound is digitised and broadcast to millions of households. So what blogs to we love? After some intense debate (not), and in no particular order, here are five blogs that I would like to extend the digital roses too:

New Music Strategies

Artists face challenging times with the internet and the consequences it has had on the valuations and consumption of music. Andrew Dubber helps navigate this confusing world, and does so in a human, personable way. I would especially advise people to check out his manifesto, which he published in the form of a free ebook.

T.L.L.T. – Things That Look Like Things

The world needs more people like Christian Ceres Merry, who through some weird mental twists and turns always manages to find pictures on Flickr that blow me away.

Fortuito.us

Matthew Haughey, the founder of the infamous MetaFilter, has to update his blog more often. I would just like to make that a public statement. However, the few blogposts he did write (5 I think) are all digital gold.

Start-up Review

Nisan Gabbay, founder of SUR, and the other well-esteemed bloggers are creating a public service for everyone with their case-study-styled blog on today’s web-start-ups. They, to me, represent all the potential that new media can have and I hope we can someday follow in their example. [/end gush]

And last, but not least!

Paleo-Future

Another quirky blog, one that reminds us of futures that never were and the infinite potential that our minds have.  The author, Matt ??, has an amazing eye for this kind of content and I’m always wondering what he will uncover next.

So, that’s it! I sincerely hope you liked it! While these blogs may be very diverse in nature, they represent the limitless potential of user-generated content, simple creativity, and altruism (edit: typo). 

Please, feel free to suggest other blogs you have enjoyed in the comments. I’m sure the blog-authors will appreciate it!

Your dedicated Tech IT Easy team!

Some last minute maintenance for 3l0g day: http://technorati.com/tag/BlogDay2007 and http://www.blogday.org/. I will also notify the authors that didn’t comment yet about their “nomination.”

    Nobody gives a damn about what I’m about to write, but never mind: my favorite blog here is Startup Review. All the case studies you need to understand the web.

    Nisan Gabbay really does an excellent job with Startup Review, and we should probably inspire ourselves here @ Tech IT Easy, from his great work.

    Thanks for the mention. When I started the blog in January I worried about running out of material. I found quickly that I’m only limited by the amount of free time I can allocate to the Paleo-Future.

    Thanks for reading,

    Matt
