Angel Investing, Entrepreneurship & Learning

Local Blogs that I like to Read

I wish I had more time to read blogs.  Some people don’t get the point of reading blogs and may think that it is a waste of time; I, on the other hand, love the learning opportunity it provides.  I like to learn what others have learned and apply the lessons to my current projects.

I use Google Reader to keep track of all my RSS feeds from other bloggers.  Because I don’t have a whole lot of time to read them all, here are the ones that I read when I only have a few minutes:

  • Chris Knudsen.  Keeps up on the latest entrepreneurial news in Utah and will tell it how it is.  Sometimes I disagree with him and believe that he gets himself into some trouble, but I like his sincerity.  He also connects with his readers very well.  Finally, He’s a good friend - I’m sure that we’ll start a business together someday (but not until he adds me to his blogroll — I think that I’m the only person in Utah that isn’t on his blogroll).
  • Alex Lawrence.  I just recently started reading his blog, but I have enjoyed his posts.  Look forward to getting to know him better — going to lunch next week.
  • Paul Allen.  Paul is the one that got me into blogging.  He always writes about interesting learning experiences that he has had.
  • Devin Thorpe.  Devin also keeps up on the Utah scene and does a good job writing about relevant events.

Of course, I also have Jeff, Trent, Money, Josh, Barson, Michael, Chad, and a bunch of other blogs that get their fair share too.

What blogs am I missing?  Which ones are at the top of your list and why? What makes a good blogger?

    You’re in. Sorry I too hate it when someone won’t answer on the old link love.

    It’s ok to disagree with me. I’m very opinionated.

    Hey Brock - thanks for listing me. I read yours as well and you ARE on my blogroll. If it makes you feel any better, I am not on Knudsens blogroll but I manage to survive.

    So when is lunch - I think I am buying, right?

    Happy New Year my man.

    -Alex

    @Chris-

    Just giving you a hard time about your blogroll. I’ve just been on your site a lot lately and happened to notice. I’m missing a whole list of bloggers from my blogroll!
