The first blog is Digital Nomads. Described as "Being Digital in An Analog World / Living The Virtual Lifestyle / Travel and Work / When You Want from Where You Want". We live in a world where we can get any information we need in almost any location. Many of us are actually making all our money in a virtual world so reading about the products that make it easier is beneficial.
A couple of interesting posts that I wanted to point out are Extreme Technology for The Portable Professional in which he describes a couple of interesting companies he wants you to comment on in the categories of WiFi and Satellite. HE has interest in these companies and is looking for those of you that may have had experience with them to leave some comments aobut it.
He has also added some information about a useful device in digital nomads translation utility tool. The utility tool is very interesting to me and is likely going to be useful for many of you that read it.
Next we have The Soho Quest. This blog is about "Small Office / Home Office Technology & Telecommunications Product Reviews & Resources for The SOHO Online Professional" and like the others is very well written.
The Blogosphere Creates Need to Coin New Words article is something I run into frequently. I've always noticed it in business and professional interactions as well too. Seems that people just assume their readers understand certain terms. Just like when you are having a chat with a doctor friend or something and they are using work related acronyms that you would never know about so you have to ask. I appreciate it when people don't assume I have knowledge of their business and don't use terms that I have to look up, or ask about.
Now this post caught my eye immediately. Things to Consider When Joining Online Forums are some tips about why or why not you would want to avoid a forum. Why it peaked my interest is that I actually have a blog about posting in online communities called Internet Serious Business. I just found it interesting to see a bit of what other people say about forums when I talk about the people that are in them so frequently.
The final blog of Michael's I want to mention is called The Sovereign Journey. The easiest way for me to describe it is simply by showing you his "What this blog is and is Not":
This blog is not about Anarchism, Posse Comitatus Groups, Survivalists, nor Conspiracy Theories. This blog is dedicated to the self-ownership concepts of Natural Law, Personal Freedom, and Self-determination. - The Digital Nomad
That is a whole lot of interesting to me. Not anything like I have seen around lately so it is nice to see a different type of blog pop up in the blogshere.
His post "I Am Deeply Grateful to Have a Blog" is exactly the kind of thing that should make you think. Why do you have a blog? Just for money? Do you have things to say about the world and want to actually use a blog to do it? Many of us do write for money, but those that make the most money tend to have blogs that have interesting information that will ignite discussion. Being in America you can say anything you want and others can tell you that you are wrong. We all have the freedom to do that and this blog is for thinkers who want to expand their minds.
That post mentions something called Super Cool School that i have been following a while as well. The concept of it is fascinating and you should check that out as well after you read his post.
Even with great content you still need to be somewhat sociable to get the word out about your blogs at first. Michael introduces another social-networking service to do just that in Check Out Ziki as Another Social Network Online Agregator. The importance of networking is never lost on me so the more networks I can get involved in the better.
