Top 10 Blogs I read

My RSS reader is organized in groups. For each group there is one blog I read first as soon as I arrive at my desk. I don’t care whether a blog writes about a news first or not, I usually look at the writing style and at the amount of “personal touch” that I can find in their blog posts.

Here is my Top10 list.

Main (25 blogs)



In this group I have a couple of blogs I consider “main sources of news”. Some of them are well known media agencies, others are from bloggers that make a living through blogging. In this category my “first” is GigaOM. It doesn’t need introduction, of course. Founded by Om Malik, former columnist at Business 2.0, it’s now one of the most read blogs (blog network?) on technology, startups and web 2.0. I love it.

Apple (24 blogs)



All the main blogs covering everything related to Apple are there. In this category, here is the winner: The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW). I like their thoughtful insights and their style. There are many great blogs related to Apple, all of them really well done. But on TUAW I can find articles with a unique style. Really worth a RSS subscription

Technology (18 blogs)



I tend to include here all blogs covering technology in general. In this category, I love Last100. It’s a blog which “tracks the digital lifestyle” and offers in-depth insights on technology and everything is digital. It’s edited by Steve O’Hear, London-based journalist. I really recommend it.

Google (9 blogs)



Do I need to explain the meaning of this group ? Google Blogoscoped is usually the most up-to-date and I love the interesting discussions that sometimes come out from their posts in the “comments” section.

VoIP (59 blogs)



First of all, you can easily imagine that this is the first group I read and it’s surely the most crowded of my RSS reader. There are a lot of great VoIP bloggers out there, but there is one I really enjoy reading. It’s not always a major source of breaking news (even if often yes) or something and surely he doesn’t always write long posts, but it’s the first I read because he usually offers deep analysis on the subjects he covers. I’m talking about VoIP Watch by Andy Abramson. He doesn’t write so often, but if I see there is new content, I immediately jump there to see what’s happening…

Special mention: Phoneboy.com. I like it because the “human” touch of his posts and because I consider that blog more similar to mine than many others, both in terms of contents and approach to blogging.

Mobile (12 blogs)




In this category I have to mention two blogs. I usually read them at the same time, since I have a “smart folder” which groups them together. The first is jkOnTheRun, a great blog by K. Tofel and J.Kendrick which always offer great point of views on the latest news coming from the mobile market. Their payoff is great: “using mobile devices since they weighed 30lbs” The second is IntoMobile that I started loving more and more since Stefan Costantinescu, a Nokia-addicted blogger, joined them.

Marketing (18 blogs)



Seth Godin forever. His posts are food for your mind.

Web 2.0 (12 blogs)



What about Mashable.com? It is definitely becoming more and more my favorite. The only “problem” here is that they write too many articles…very difficult to follow every post…

Italian Blogs (15 blogs)



It’s not really a “category” so many topics are mixed here. Anyway, as an Apple addicted, my preferred is Melablog.it. Most of their articles offer a coverage of other US-based Apple blogs, anyway I found many fresh content there that sometimes I re-propose on my blog.
