This is in response to Kent Newsome’s request for inspiration for his feed reading list (his ’swivel feeds’ experiment). As you can imagine, most of my 150 or so feeds I read regularly (there are more that I only glance at now and then) are focused on mobile technology, but there are still some that I think would be of interest. I don’t read as many personal blogs as I should, but there are quite a few one-man shows that I enjoy, and even non-commercial group blogs that come in very useful.

So without further ado, here are five blogs not already on Kent’s list that I think he, and others, might enjoy:

  • Blogging Pro
    Lots of news and tips for personal bloggers and pros alike
  • D’Arcy Norman
    Works at the University of Calgary, has an interesting insight on the education scene and internet trends in general
  • Daily Cup of Tech
    Timothy Fehlman’s blog, full of freeware and really great guides to doing fun things with technology
  • UNEASYsilence
    “Observing the unobserved,” full of interesting little bits and pieces on all sorts of topics
  • PaulStamatiou.com
    Young blogger from Georgia Tech, interesting insights and reviews

I have tried to steer away from the larger, professional blogs in favor of the smaller outfits. Also, I mainly subscribe to technology feeds, which may have limited appeal to some. Hopefully someone will get something out of that lot though.

Remember, my main reading list is always available in OPML format here, and a rotating selection of links from that list that refreshes every ten minutes appears in my sidebar.

  1. It’s good to see my efforts at maintaining a small, unprofessional blog have not gone unnoticed ;-)

    Thanks for the tip of the hat! Sometimes it is hard to know whether or not it’s worth all of the effort.

    @D’Arcy - I meant ‘unprofessional’ as in it isn’t your principal form of income, your writing is top-notch quality. I didn’t mean that as an insult at all :) Sorry!

    @Tim - It can be hard sometimes, but I can promise you that there is one reader here that enjoys your stuff. I even used your tip jar a couple of days ago ;)

  5. @Brad: I took it as a compliment :-)

  • Mmm, having my first tea at the new office. Finally got around to bringing all my tea stuff from the old office. 4:39pm
  • @MikeRapin But when I update the original doc in iWork, I have to re-share it as a new doc, I can't push it up as a replacement to the last. 2:50pm
  • Seriously, is there no way to update an iWork doc you've already shared on iWork.com? You have to make a new doc? 2:25pm
  • @thingles You can buy iWork 09 now, iLife 09 comes late January 12:22pm
  • And the inline comments on sections of the document are even more useful 11:15am
  • iWork.com is cool, would be nice to edit online too, but being able to download in multiple formats is very useful. 11:13am
