Some blogs for the n00b reader…

A student of mine asked about what blogs to read to find out more about all this web2.0 stuff. My response as follows (copied here for posterity and amusement):

For Web2.0 check out the GigaOm Show on Revision 3 (video/itunes-friendly) and for blogs, Mashable is usually up-to-date on the news. From there, stuff diverges. There are the marketing/seo/public-relations folks, the web technology folks, and the venture capital/entrepreneurial folks, along with a smattering of philosophical Stowe Boyd and educational + web types BavaTuesdays. Looking through my rss reader I am finding find some stuff that is usually ok. GigaOm is excellent, and his crew has a number of “channels”, its definitely a community blog over there. TechCrunch is usually good. O’Reilly Radar is good. I find Andreessen pretty engaging at [pmarca blog](http:// blog.pmarca.com). For gadgets, Engadget is usually good, for tips/tricks on stuff in general, check out Lifehacker and for Public Relations, Steve Rubel at Micropersuasion is not bad. Whatever you do, don’t waste time on Scoble or Calacanis.

Cheers!
