2. TECHNOLOGY
BLOGS
• Gizmodo
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.
• GigaOM
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).
• ZDNet
In online terms, 10 years is a lifetime and 20 is an eternity. How long ZDNet has been in existence makes this go-to
tech website (formerly “ZiffNet”) an anomaly among blogs. Founded in 1991, formerly on CompuServe and Prodigy,
ZDNet was purchased in 2000 by CNET (CBS Interactive), and reports on a variety of tech news. While they focus
heavily on the usual suspects (Apple, Microsoft, Google), ZDNet also features product reviews, software downloads
and tons of news and analysis on tech businesses and issues.

3. BUSINESS
BLOGS
• Quora
Is a Q&A site where experts actually take the time to seriously answer your questions. You can follow topics like
"startups" and "entrepreneurship" and people like Fred Wilson or Mark Zuckerberg. Answers get voted up by by
the community so that only the best ones shine.
• PandoDaily
Sarah Lacy and her band of bloggers at Pando are making an effort to become the "site of record for Silicon
Valley." Much of the staff came from TechCrunch, so they're well sourced. Lacy conducts exclusive interviews
with high profile people in tech and curates the top tech/entrepreneurship stories from other startups in the site's
right rail.
• WiseBread
As a small business owner, frugality can make or break your company. Wise Bread offers tips on how manage
business finances, and gives advice to entrepreneurs who want to do big things on a small budget. Wise Bread
has a section that caters exclusively to entrepreneurship, which covers topics ranging from "launching for less"
to "scoring free publicity."

4. ENTERTAINMENT
BLOGS
• London Theatre Blog
The London theatre scene is filled with massive stars that have made the transition from stage to screen, so any given
weekend you can see the likes of Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, or Ian McKellen performing. This well-organized
blog lets you stay abreast of upcoming performances, as well as providing insightful reviews, articles, and the
lowdown on events as far away as Cambodia. If your interest in theatre extends beyond the hot lights of Broadway,
then this site comes highly recommended.
• Juggling.TV
If I learned anything during my initial search on this topic, it’s that women have a tough-yet-rewarding time juggling
careers and motherhood (gee, thanks Google). All search engine bitching aside, however, this site is perfect for those
whose passion centers on keeping multiple items airborne. Juggling.TV bills itself as the online depository for juggling
videos, and I see no reason to dispute their claim. The blog portion of their site is frequently updated with items pulling
from various social media destinations, and it’s both instructive for the practitioner and entertaining for the bystander.
From keeping items aloft with your feet to juggling while riding a unicycle, this video blog and its participants never fail
to impress.
• PuppetVision
When people think of puppetry, they probably imagine favorites such as Kermit or Yoda (before George Lucas sold his
soul to Satan in exchange for the secrets of CGI). While those are fine examples, the art of puppeteering includes a
wide range of options from marionettes and ventriloquist dummies to giant and shadow puppets. This site covers any
and all variations, as well as industry news, short films, patterns, and even workshop information. If you’re a puppeteer
groupie, this is the place to find all the hunkiest options for your next amorous conquest.

5. GOOGLE DOCS
• Google Docs is a free Web-based application in which documents and spreadsheets can
be created, edited and stored online. Files can be accessed from any computer with an
Internet connection and a full-featured Web browser. Google Docs is a part of a
comprehensive package of online applications offered by and associated with Google.
• Users of Google Docs can import, create, edit and update documents and spreadsheets in
various fonts and file formats, combining text with formulas, lists, tables and images.
Google Docs is compatible with most presentation software and word
processor applications. Work can be published as a Web page or as a print-ready
manuscript. Users can control who sees their work. Google Docs is ideal for publishing
within an enterprise, maintaining blogs or composing work for viewing by the general
public.
• Google Docs lends itself to collaborative projects in which multiple authors work together in
real time from geographically diverse locations. All participants can see who made specific
document changes and when those alterations were done. Because documents are stored
online and can also be stored on users' computers, there is no risk of total data loss as a
result of a localized catastrophe. However, the Internet-based nature of Google Docs has
given rise to concerns among some authors that their work may not be private or secure.

6. MAIN FUNCTIONS
• Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Slides are a word processor, a
spreadsheet and a presentation program respectively, all part of a free, web-based
software office suite offered by Google within its Google Drive service. The suite
allows users to create and edit documents online while collaborating with other
users in real-time.
• The three apps are available as web applications, as Chrome apps that work offline,
and as mobile apps for Android and iOS. The apps are compatible with Microsoft
Office file formats. The suite also consists of Google Forms (survey software),
Google Drawings (diagramming software) and Google Fusion Tables (database
manager; experimental). While Forms and Tables are only available as web
applications, Drawings is also available as a Chrome app.

7. LINKEDIN
• LinkedIn is a business-oriented social networking service. Founded in December
14, 2002 and launched on May 5, 2003, it is mainly used for professional
networking. As of 2015, most of the site's revenue came from selling access to
information about its users to recruiters and sales professionals. As of October
2015, LinkedIn reported more than 400 million acquired users in more than 200
countries and territories.
• Based in the US, the site is available in 24 languages, including Arabic, Chinese,
English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Danish,
Romanian, Russian, Turkish, Japanese, Czech, Polish, Korean, Indonesian, Malay,
and Tagalog. As of 2 July 2013, Quantcast reported that LinkedIn has 65.6 million
monthly unique U.S. visitors and 178.4 million globally, a number that as of 29
October 2013 had increased to 184 million. In June 2011, LinkedIn had 33.9 million
unique visitors, up 63 percent from a year earlier and surpassing MySpace.
LinkedIn filed for an initial public offering in January 2011 and traded its first shares
on May 19, 2011, under the NYSE symbol "LNKD".
