I try to get a substantive flow of new ideas from reading books, magazines and blogs. Some of the blogs that I find most useful are these four:
A VC – a blog by venture capitalist Fred Wilson. He posts regularly regarding startups, venture capital financing, entrepreneurship and new technical frontiers (crypto currencies, blockchain, AI). Probably the most influential blog on venture capital.
Fast Company – more of a generalist business blog from the team behind the Fast Company magazine, but geared towards the early adopters of new technologies and ways of working. Gives a good flavour for topics that are high on the agenda, primarily in the US.
Marginal Revolution – a blog by economics professors Tyler Cowen (who also does the Conversations with Tyler-podcast mentioned in an earlier post here) and Alex Tabarrok. Covers how economics concepts are applied in the real world. Good mix of theory and practice, with the intermittent posts about Tyler’s travels, what he and Alex have been reading (they read A LOT!!) and the odd things that Tyler finds online.
HBS Working Knowledge – summarizes key concepts from articles in Harvard Business Review related to business and leadership. Convenient place to keep up to speed with the latest in organizational design and development, even if you do not subscribe to Harvard Business Review.
What blogs do you read?
