I realize that alot of people don’t go out and find good blogs. I want to democratize the process. Here is a list of blogs that I read, and that I think are really awesome reads in general, no matter what you are interested. This post is what I achieved when I tried to get the most out of my blog reading. I hope it gives you a sense of a blog pulse. I am definitely feeling it. These are in no particular order, so don’t feel bad if your blog is a lower number.

    Great list. I monitor many of these, and you’ve added a few I didn’t know of. Hope its not considered spam to recommend another but I’d suggest Metue (www.metue.com) be on the list. Or a future list. It’s not a widely known site. I found it a couple weeks ago but have been very impressed with its quality and perspective.

  2. david lee Mon, 09 Jul 2007 01:34:18 PDT

    This is a nice list, i have some of them on my rss reader. guess some more to add. Anyone visited http://www.irintech.com. check it out they are quite like digg and getting popular too.

  3. Watch TV Mon, 09 Jul 2007 03:03:32 PDT

    Great list, I can’t say I read even 10% of them.. I’ve been to some, some I haven’t heard of and others I check semi-weekly.

  4. Allen Stern Mon, 09 Jul 2007 04:01:38 PDT

    I would hope you don’t think mine sucks:
    http://www.centernetworks.com

    Looks like you basically pulled the good ones out of the Technorati 100?

  5. Eric Mon, 09 Jul 2007 04:37:47 PDT

    It makes me smile to see that endadget is not on the list. They are given WAY too much credit.

  6. Brian Mon, 09 Jul 2007 04:52:02 PDT

    Perhaps a few words on what each blog covers would be nice since I’m not familiar with all of them and I don’t necessarily have time to investigate each one.

  7. meninweb Mon, 09 Jul 2007 04:54:54 PDT
  8. sergiu Mon, 09 Jul 2007 04:59:17 PDT

    what, no engadget?

  9. Gopinath Mon, 09 Jul 2007 05:09:14 PDT

    My blog will be listed one day in this list soon :)

    Tech Thoughts

  10. What? Mon, 09 Jul 2007 05:10:53 PDT

    This is a terrible list… some of these blogs haven’t been updated in forever… for instance Tech Puddle hasn’t been updated in almost 2 YEARS.

  11. espire Mon, 09 Jul 2007 05:17:53 PDT

    I’m sorry, but you happened to forget Engadget! How could you possibly forget it? Even Bill Gates reads it!

    And Joystiq may have a few crappy writers, but it’s generally a good blog. Guess it’s more for gaming, though.

  12. Christian Mohn Mon, 09 Jul 2007 05:20:11 PDT

    Thanks for the linkage, it’s appreciated!

  13. matt Mon, 09 Jul 2007 05:28:23 PDT

    Check Out GAZHOO.COM

  14. Kermit Woodall Mon, 09 Jul 2007 05:36:28 PDT

    Hey! http://www.GadgetNutz.com doesn’t suck either! We’re very proud of our record of non-suckiness!

  15. arturo Mon, 09 Jul 2007 05:44:43 PDT

    I would put TechEBlog.com on the list!!!

  16. Thank you Mon, 09 Jul 2007 05:46:26 PDT

    A real deep thank you for (rightly so) not including the awful engaydget blog - it goes against everything good in the world, I hate the commercialized link whoring place!

    gizmodo FTW! i

    Is is all paid links?

  20. Satya Prakash Karan Mon, 09 Jul 2007 06:03:23 PDT

    Ok I checked few. Good blogs.

  21. Scott Mon, 09 Jul 2007 06:17:18 PDT

    Another good one is

    http://www.comnetslash.com

    Although a new comer, this one seems to do well in covering alot of new tech news regarding everything techy related.

    The ones are above are well established blogs that have been around for a while. CNS is one to note for the future.

  22. bryan Mon, 09 Jul 2007 06:20:29 PDT

    Thanks for the list, but I would have preferred if you gave some reasoning to it. I visit a handful of these sites religiously, but I have never heard of some of the others.

    Maybe a little blurb about each of them and what they stand for - that could have saved me time from going through each and every one - but good list nonetheless!

  23. Josh Mon, 09 Jul 2007 06:21:39 PDT

    Uhhh Hello??? Ever hear of Engadget? The best tech blog on the Internet!?!?

  24. Pietro Skiano Mon, 09 Jul 2007 06:29:51 PDT

    One not so techy, but oh so funny is this california kid starting up a business with his good buddy, running rough shod over Berlin, their new stopming grounds. Not for the faint of heart.

    http://www.jdubblog.com

  25. Skinp Mon, 09 Jul 2007 06:36:45 PDT

    WIll be buried if Engadget is not added to the lot!!!

  26. AuroraAlpha Mon, 09 Jul 2007 06:50:07 PDT

    This list isn’t very good, your missing the very best one of all:
    engadget.com

  27. lawton chiles Mon, 09 Jul 2007 06:54:00 PDT

    This so so valuable. Thank you for taking the time to put it all together, take the screen shots, and do the hyper linking.

    This will take me some time to go though…:)

  29. Carl Mon, 09 Jul 2007 07:23:03 PDT

    Hi,

    Another site which is quickly gathering many readers, and which a lot of people haven’t really heard of yet, is Beskerming.com (link above), specifically, the commentary section. Okay, so I represent it, but we are getting strong interest building from within the tech media community (which is actually how most people have found the site). It might be worth a look.

  30. Luis Mon, 09 Jul 2007 07:29:40 PDT

    Damn, I wish I was on the list. Great list, btw.

  31. Paul Turdrot Mon, 09 Jul 2007 07:38:07 PDT

    I can’t believe you didn’t include Paul Thurrot’s Internet Nexus. Paul is an obvious genius and knows everything. His insight is amazing; in fact, he is almost as good as Rob Enderle!

  32. handy_man Mon, 09 Jul 2007 07:55:34 PDT

    Thanks dude, i’ve been reading some of those mentioned and im sure gonna take a look at all the rest.

  33. Thunk Different Mon, 09 Jul 2007 08:11:22 PDT

    Here are some more good ones.

  34. Digital Punch TV Mon, 09 Jul 2007 08:20:14 PDT

    If you’re looking for a great Tech vLog… check out Digital Punch Tv. A great mix if tech/web news and comedy.

  35. WebGyver Mon, 09 Jul 2007 08:21:26 PDT

    Awesome stuff! I knew some of those BLOGs before coming here, but I’m gonna be busy for a couple of days, checking out the others.

    Thank you for providing this information. Extremely useful, educational and entertaining (at least for me). Isn’t it amazing how different people perceive the BLOGosphere, what’s important and all that, based on a number of intangible preferences?

    Did you forget one? Personally, I think the WebGyver BLOG should be somewhere on this list, too, between number 1 and 69.

    Thanks again!

  36. Clint Ecker Mon, 09 Jul 2007 08:31:25 PDT

    You don’t read Ars Technica? And you call yourself a geek?! :-D

  37. Amr Mon, 09 Jul 2007 08:40:41 PDT

    That is a very good list. I am already regularly reading many of these blogs, and this post showed me some other good ones that I haven’t seen before. Thanks

  38. Ariejan Mon, 09 Jul 2007 08:51:21 PDT

    Well, I’d like to think my own blog doesn’t suck. But since it not in this list…

    Nicely put together. Maybe add RSS Feed links for everyone to enjoy?

  39. Dan Blank Mon, 09 Jul 2007 08:57:54 PDT

    Thanks for including me on the list! Have a great day.

  40. regeya Mon, 09 Jul 2007 09:41:19 PDT

    Kuro5hin, a tech site that doesn’t suck? C’MON! Kuro5hin has been tech-hostile for at least 5 years, and is a ghost of its former self. After the pax americana crapstorm, it just sort of dried up and turned into something that’s barely evolved beyond LOLCATS.

    I won’t argue with any of the rest, though.

  41. WS Mon, 09 Jul 2007 09:51:13 PDT

    Nice collection of tech blogs - good one - thanks for the effort :)

  42. tom Mon, 09 Jul 2007 09:53:08 PDT

  43. rick Mon, 09 Jul 2007 10:30:15 PDT

    Obviously this list is silly….no uncov or mashable or readwriteweb

  44. Andre Mon, 09 Jul 2007 10:32:46 PDT

    do we really need 69 tech blogs to read?

    top ten list thx.

  45. Dovergeek Mon, 09 Jul 2007 11:32:18 PDT

    What! No Love for Ars Technica. WTF

  46. noah kagan Mon, 09 Jul 2007 11:41:52 PDT

    woot! This made my freaking day! Thanks for the mention, I will continue to live my motto of never sucking:)

  47. Micahville Mon, 09 Jul 2007 11:51:58 PDT

    New post coming out. It explains my reasoning by the 69.

  49. Jonah Mon, 09 Jul 2007 14:15:01 PDT

    Thank you for leaving Engadget off the list!

    They’re so in love with themselves it makes me sick.

  50. Sly Mon, 09 Jul 2007 14:33:35 PDT

    Very nice list. Too bad mine isn’t in there :( . Well, it’s only been up on the internet for a couple of months, but make sure to check it out!

  54. AskTheAdmin Mon, 09 Jul 2007 17:15:21 PDT

    I would say boingboing.com is a good site as well not always tech related but an awesome site nonetheless.

  57. Vlad Akilov Mon, 09 Jul 2007 22:10:01 PDT

    This list is total BullShit for 2 reasons 1- Engagdet is not on the list and 2 - TheBlogJoint.com is not on the list (my own blog) I figured if some crap like “Ed Brill” can be on the list why can’t I???

  61. Adam Kalsey Tue, 10 Jul 2007 13:55:27 PDT

    I’m honored to be included in the list. But perhaps you should have named it “68 tech blogs that don’t suck. And that Adam Kalsey guy.”

  62. seeker Tue, 10 Jul 2007 23:25:25 PDT

    another shout out for ArsTechnica - i am so busy now, that’s the ONLY one I have time to scan

  77. ChicaGeek Tue, 07 Aug 2007 01:54:03 PDT

    I miss geek girls blogs here! Shiny Shiny, Chip Chick, TechieDiva… and mine, of course :P

    Seriously, when you make a list out of something it’s not easy to make everybody happy. The list will be finished for you, but there will always be people pointing out items you inexplicably left outside.

    Nice work!

  78. Cyril Roger Tue, 07 Aug 2007 01:54:03 PDT

    Great list. I would also recommend our blog, insideTonic (http://www.insidetonic.com) , which focuses on software and technology news. Don’t hesitate to drop by and leave us a comment.

    This is a highly opinionated article.
    My blog xhydra.com would definetly suck if you are not into microsoft technologies.Unless you are a microsoft fan my blog Rocks!
