2. Technology blogs
https://gigaom.com/
If you’re looking for what’s next, look no
further. Om Malik’s creation has grown
into one of the largest blogs worldwide,
and it’s all due to focusing on what’s
new. News and analysis on Web 2.0,
technologies and startups, social
media, gaming — you name it, GigaOM
has it covered. That’s what happens
when you have a team of 12 technology-
obsessed writers (six of which have
authored over 100 posts each)
3. http://gizmodo.com/
Pretty much known as
the TMZ of tech after they paid
for a “lost” next-gen Apple
iPhone — the fallout became
front-page news across the
world. Scandals aside,
Gizmodo’s been a must-follow
site for a long time, with tons of
relevant posts, a youthful vibe,
and some of the funnier
commenters on the Internet.

If you haven’t heard of “The Social Media
Guide,” you just might be living under an
old Commodore 64. Updated constantly,
and nearly always entertaining, Mashable
takes the worlds of Twitter, Facebook,
entertainment, news, and everything else
techies are talking about and, well,
mashes it up into the kind of blog
casserole we just can’t get enough of.
5. Business blogs
While this blog, run by Bplans,
a company that sells business
planning software, covers a
wide range of business-related
topics, by far, its strength is its
information on business
planning. Tim Berry, the
Founder of Bplans’ parent
company, is an expert on
business plans and has plenty
of content on the blog.

6. If you have to pick
one comprehensive
site that provides
how-to tips, industry
news, and trends, it
should be Small
Business Trends.

7. http://www.stonyfield.com/blog
Stonyfield Farms specializes in organic
dairy products. Their branding is geared
toward family, farming and living an
organic lifestyle.
Stonyfield does a great job of staying true
to their brand by creating a targeted
theme within their blog. As you can see
from the image below, they use a
barnyard as their home page backdrop,
and include pictures of healthy families
and articles about healthy living. All of
these components reinforce their theme
of family and healthy living. Plus, notice
how they say “Let’s Be Friends,” a much
friendlier, warmer way to encourage
people to connect with you on your social
sites.
8. Entertainment Blogs
The Internet Movie Database
(abbreviated IMDb) is an
online database of
information related to films,
