Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

Hi SUN...

I recently evolved from the stone age and started using a feed reader for more efficient web surfing...

I was wondering if people would be willing to share their favorite RSS feeds with me?  What is the most important blog you read each day?  Why?

MINE.



Which reminds me that it`s Friday and I owe my subscribers a post.

I actually have a whole huge list .... lemme work on it and I`ll post it later here.

OK here is Nikole`s crazy long list of feeds ... because I need to move them from one laptop to the other anyway, so I can use SUN to do it!

(These are all links directly to the feed.)

Stop by the SmallBusiness.com wiki for a huge list of Small Business blogs:

The SmallBusiness.com News Wire is a great resource in its own right, collecting small business news from a variety of sources:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/smallbusinessnews

Other small business authors I find value in include:

• Boomtown USA, Jack Schultz, Illinois (small town)
  
• CCU CEO, Zane Safrit, Iowa (one CEO`s perspective)
  
• Small Business CEO, Steve Rucinski, Ohio (collected news items)
  
• Rex Blog, Rex Hammock, Tennessee (eclectic!)
  
• Small Biz Trends, Anita Campbell, Ohio
  
• Work at Home, Chuck Huckaby, Tennessee
• Small Biz Technology, Ramon Ray, New Jersey
• Marketing Minute, Drew McLellan, Iowa
• Instigator, Ben Yoskovitz, Quebec, Canada (entrepreneurship)
  
• EnergyByte, Cristian Dorobantescu, Romania (entrepreneurship)
• The Savvy Entrepreneur, Cristina Favreau, Montreal, Canada

Another idea is to set up news searches, through Google or others, to bring you relevant industry or local news. Even my small town local papers offer feeds.
I also subscribe to the feed from my friends` Flickr pages, to see what they are up to.

Finally, at the risk of seeming immodest, I`ll mention my own feed, Small Biz Survival, for small town and rural small business people.

how does everyone have time to read all this (your personal feeds)?

I don`t know how many words per minute I read, but I am sure its pretty close to average. I have found I can read faster by listening. WHAT? I know it doesn`t make sense. But really, I have set up my computer to read most all text displayed on the screen. I have become accustomed to the way the computer reads and have been able to increase the reading speed of the computer. It now reads to me much faster than I could read myself. I don`t even think I can talk as fast as the computer is reading. Yet I still don`t have enough time to read everything I should read, each day. Lot`s of cool stuff falls to the side. HOW DO YOU ALL DO IT?
