2. Technology
blogs

3. 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.

4. 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).

5. 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.

6. Business
blogs

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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."

10. Entertainment
blogs

11. BuzzFeed
Is an American internet media company based in New York City. The firm
describes itself as a "social news and entertainment company" with a focus on
digital media and digital technology in order to provide "the most shareable
breaking news, original reporting, entertainment, and video."

12. 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.

13. 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.

15. Collective Intelligence
 Is shared or group intelligence that emerges from the collaboration,
collective efforts, and competition of many individuals and appears in
consensus decision making. Collective intelligence is very important
because is a way to share your ideas and thoughts with your partners and
help to have better decision making. It may not see so important but it will
help you in create your first business for example, you should practice the
habit of sharing your ideas and thoughts with other people.
