#FollowFriday: A Roundup

By: Gini Dietrich | April 22, 2011 |

It’s Good Friday and our offices are closed. I’m guessing most of you have the day off, as well.

So, rather than recommend a new blogger that you subscribe to and potentially miss because of the holiday, I’ve created a Google Reader subscription of the recommendations I’ve done since I began this program.

If you’re not a Reader person, I’ve listed all of the below so you can pick and choose which ones you would like to explore, subscribe to, and read.

The recommendations for the past year include:

  1. Sharon Cain, Quest PR Blog
  2. Scott Hepburn, Media Emerging
  3. Jon Buscall, Jontus Media
  4. Mark Schaefer, Businesses {grow}
  5. Danny Brown, The Human Side of Media and the Social Side of Marketing
  6. Arik Hanson, Communications Conversations
  7. Jay Baer, Convince and Convert
  8. Rieva Lesonsky, Small Biz Daily
  9. Julie Roads, Writing Roads
  10. Nancy Lyons and Meghan Wilker, Geek Girls Guide
  11. Anonymous, Convenience Store Dreamin’

  13. Marijean Jaggers, Change the Conversation
  14. David Spinks, The Spinks Blog
  15. Frank Dickinson, Creating Conversations In a World of Chatter
  16. Jeff Lipschultz, The Bike Whisperer
  17. Angelica Colantuoni, The Chic Fit
  18. Randy Hall, 4th Gear
  19. Shelly Kramer, V3IM
  20. Doug Davidoff, The Fast Growth
  21. Becky Johns, I’m Working On It
  22. Tim Jahn, Beyond the Pedway
  23. Troy Claus, Marketing and Branding the Right Way to Success
  24. Mitch Joel, Six Pixels of Separation
  25. PR Breakfast Club
  26. Shonali Burke, Waxing Unlyrical
  27. Ingrid Abboud, Nitty Griddy
  28. David Siteman Garland, Smarter, Faster, Cheaper
  29. Valeria Maltoni, Conversation Agent

  44. Marcus Sheridan, The Sales Lion

There are a few blogs not included in this bundle, simply because they don’t have RSS feeds (cough, get one, cough!). But it will certainly give you a great starting point. All you have to do is click here and hit the big subscribe button.

Have a great holiday weekend!

Hi Gini,
Always looking for new interesting blogs so this is a time saver. I'm always amazed whenever I read a good blog by an experienced blogger that doesn't have a RSS feed or the option to receive the blog by email.

I think my Reader just doubled in size...this is AWESOME Gini! I have been looking for a resource like this. One click - everything should be that easy.

One question, when you update your end, will it update ours as well?

Also, do you have a list like this of podcasts? I would love to see (err...hear) who you listen to - if any

Never thought of doing recommendations as a block of RSS feeds. Fantastic idea that I will be using in future.

Many Thanks & Happy Easter

It's kind of scary, isn't it? Beth Harte did a great blog post a few weeks ago about the things bloggers miss, including subscriptions and social sharing. Boo hiss!

Soon I'll have you guys in a bundle with my entire Reader and then I'll have to go exploring again.

You know, I don't have an answer for you right now. I'll dig into it and find out. I hope it does update for everyone who subscribes. If not I'll do a recap every 10 weeks or so. I'll let you know!

As for podcasts, I really only listen to Shel Holtz, Rachael Seda, Mitch Joel, and Inside PR (because I have to). But I like the idea of doing a subscription list like this. I'll play with iTunes and see what I can come up with.

If you're an avid Reader user, it's pretty easy to figure out, but if you need help, just holler!

You know, I saved his birthday cupcake because he got into the fridge last week. I think I'll give it to him tomorrow and tell him it's from you!

Happy Easter! xoxo

Thanks for the podcast recommendations. I didn't know Mitch had the SPOS as a podcast. I couldn't find anything from Rachael Seda...I'll have to google the podcast. Also, I've been listening to Inside PR for a while now and have been wondering if and when Spin Sucks will get a podcast (I take a glance about once a month or so).

Hope you had a Happy Easter!
