Five to follow – Ben Shepherd; Margaret Simon; Amnesia; David Knox; Stilgherrian
I have something of a complex relationship with my RSS feed.
Sometimes it makes me feel happy, or even excited. But mostly, I suffer from sadness, flavoured with a nagging sense of guilt.
Over the last few months my RSS feeds – which mainly focus on Australian blogs that are at least vaguely to do with the media and marketing world – have spiralled to well over 300.
The happy and excited bits are easy to explain. There’s so much interesting, thoughtful and challenging stuff around that for a journo struggling to get his head around this industry, there’s always a stream of insight.
Really, please dont give Shepherd any more airtime. He seems to have an opinion on everything and everyone in digital laughs behind his back at his ‘opinion’. Say something positive once Shep and maybe we will read.
five to follow on the cooler end of australian media & marketing…
1. sound alliance blog: new, but good
2. welikey : who we likey
3. way cool jnr : smart guys, doing smart blogging
4. OMG with Emily: a blog + a radio show
5. pedestrian : where marketing meets entertainment (or the other way round)
oh no “everyone in digital” “laughs behind my back”!11. 🙁
I don’t know anyone who laughs behind Shep’s back
Regardless of what you might think of the B.Shepherd Esq. soapbox, he gets people talking and that’s a good thing. Keep it up.
Ben, maybe it’s because you have the courage to use your real name and not something like “Number One” … no hang on … it’s the anonymous ones everyone laughs at.
Don’t tell me Ben is writing his own opinion on his own blog!
Top list Mumbles.
