Before you go too far, the answer is probably “yes”. You’ve probably been reading them forever and ever. You’re likely cursing me for wasting your time with that enticing headline. But if you’re a nerd like me, and really dig the industry side of music, technology and marketing, then I just want to be safe and make sure that you’re not missing out on any of these amazing blogs.
If you’re into technology, your first stop is TechCrunch. They break most of the tech stories, so their readership is loyal and huge, which in turn encourages companies to give TechCrunch the exclusive on their story, and the cycle continues. Brilliant.
If you’re into marketing, you must read Seth Godin. He somehow manages to offer truly remarkable insights on a daily basis. If you’re a student of marketing, toss out your textbooks and read Seth (or check out one my favorite videos at TED).
And if you’re into the music industry, the best insider blog hands down is written by Bob Lefsetz. He’s quintessentially what blogging is all about. He’s on top of current news, he picks a point of view, and he articulates his argument. He’s polarizing in that he often takes a side and pisses off several people in the process. Half of the fun is reading the comments and responses.
Hopefully there’s a new nugget in there for my four or five readers. Peace.
