About three decades ago I passed a sign outside the Baby’O nightclub in Acapulco that read: “This place sucks. Go next door”. In other words and in our language: “This place sucks. Go next door.
Today I say the same to you in relation to my blog: “this blog sucks, go to the next one” because there are many better ones. Several of them accompany me and I recommend you here in La Nación. That said, I have 5 that I want to highly recommend to you.
Brain Pickings. From Maria Popova and with the most inspiring content of the moment. It is defined as a discovery engine for the interesting, as a subjective lens on what matters in the world. It brings us topics you didn’t know you’d be interested in until you’re hooked.
HBR Blog Network. Under the auspices of the Harvard Business Review, the collection of posts on this network is always rich, deep and analytical. For my area of professional interest, I regularly visit “The future of advertising” and everything related to branding, innovation, influence and applied technology.
KR Connect. From Kevin Roberts, one of my mentors and most influential professionals in my decade-long career, from his blog he constantly detonates, provokes and inspires.
Fast Company Tumblr. For its organization in co-creation, co-existence and co-design, as well as for its freshness and constant breaking, it is a source of vitamin-laden capsules for the imagination.
Tumblr Wallpaper. In the search for inspiring design, cutting-edge proposals and ideas that ignite others, here you will find images and proposals that invite anything but more of the same.
In line with the constant exploration that we must do to reinvent and co-create, I also invite you to the network in El Financiero where I frequent the spaces of Margaret Grigsby, Rogelio Umaña and Larisa Páez. Carlos Alonso Vargas, the author of takatún, has impressed me with his reflections in his blog, as has Julio González, director of the Openhouse, and Moisés Naím in his global vision of what is happening today.
In short, there are millions of blogs in the world and “A Fuego Lento” is just one among them all. What is undeniable is that the blog is a figure of connection, influence and discussion that is here to stay. If you would like to see the 100 most visited blogs in the world according to Technorati, where the Huffington Post stands out as the first one, it’s just a click away.
So, I invite you to visit other blogs! Okay, and to come back here as much as you want. While life goes on, I invite you to add the address to your blog below, or to your favorite blogs as well. By the way, we went to Baby’O that night.
Cheers.
