Tag & You Get Tagged Back - Why I Read Blogs

After tagging Nell Taliercio, she tagged me back. Funny thing is, she never answered the question about Why Do I Blog...but she gave me a question to answer back. Sheesh, Nell, better get to it!

Nell wants to know...

Why I Read Blogs

I really enjoy reading other people's opinions and thoughts. It's also a cool way to get to know someone. I must admit that I'm not a daily blog reader, but I do love the format. I don't use a feed reader anymore (got lazy and forgot to install it on my new computer), so I tend to go to blogs that update frequently...which is another thing I do like about blogs. If you're bored or need a little break from work, you can say to yourself, I can go to XXX's blog and see what he/she has to say.

For that reason, the blogs I read frequently, changes regularly. When someone is posting more frequently, I come by more often, but when they taper off, I may not visit very often. And that leads me to Nell's next question...

The Top 3 Blogs I Read All The Time

That's tough to say, especially given my explanation above. It changes. For the purposes of this exercise, I'll stick with the current top marketing-related blogs I like to visit.

• Michel Fortin: He's been keeping things fired up lately and posts regular, thought-provoking posts. I like his blog for the information he provides and for the real person that comes out in his blog. Michel is a great guy, with HUGE heart and it really show on his blog.
  

• Kelly McCausey's WAHM Talk Radio Blog: Kelly's got a great blog that she frequently updates. What I like about Kelly's blog is that it's a community-focused blog. She is the main writer, and only has the occasional guest writer, but she uses her blog to spread the word about other work-at-home mom businesses and valuable resources for work-at-home moms. She's also pretty spunky and if she's got an opinion on something, you're going to know it. A long time ago, she modestly said, "I'm just the WAHM cheerleader," but what a great cheerleader/promoter she is.
  

• I WAS reading Lynn Terry's ClickNewz a lot, but she's gotten lazy, but I still do drop by. Come on, Lynn...what gives? ;-)
