10 Blogs to watch in 2010
Submitted by Matthew Needham on 43 Comments
This post was going to be my 10 favourite blogs of 2009, however as I started writing the post, I couldn’t get the list down to 10, so here is my list of 16 sites which I think you should be checking out regularly in 2010 and retweeting and commenting on the great articles you’ll find there.
Here we go:
- TheInfopreneur.net
- 6aliens.com
- Escapingthe9to5.com
- Menwithpens
- Johnny B Truant
- Chris Guillebeau
- Giveabrick
- Ittybiz
- Jonathan Fields
- 2Chicksathome
- Bluepop13
- David Risley
- A Meaningful existence
- Problogger
- Don Power
- The Middle Finger Project
When I originally wrote this post I thought that 10 Blogs to follow would be a great title. The truth is I do follow more that 10 blogs as you can see from the above list. Following the great comments below, I thought I’d update the post with a few further blogs that I follow but less frequently and also the URL’s to the blogs suggested in the comments below:

Hi Gordie, thanks for sharing. So why should these blogs feature on here then?

Hi Gordie,
I’ve visited Man v’s Debt a few times since I came across him on Problogger. I’d not come across Notaproblog before I saw it on James’ site a few weeks ago.
But, you’re right they both should be on the list and I’ve now included them!
Thanks for sharing.

Hey Matthew
Thanks for being included in your list. There are some awesome blogs on the list – lost of them I already regularly follow.
But I think you’re missing an important one.
The Big Red Tomato Company
It’s really good – you should check it out!

Hey James, I’ve added the blogs you suggested to the list. I had not heard of them until I came across them on your site a few weeks ago. They have great information and they should be on the list.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for including me, Matthew. It’s much appreciated to be in such a great list for 2010.
I like lists like these because you sometimes get to discover new blogs that you haven’t visited before.
Thanks,

I really only subscribe to REtomato, problogger, webpronews, Matt Cutts, Google, Bing News, ragepank, distilled.co.uk and a couple of forums. Many people forget to realize the importance of monitoring forums and social media feeds for breaking news. It’s the cats meow folks!

Hi Matthew,
I love the list you’ve compiled. I’m pleased to see a few blogs that I already regularly read on your list because it makes me feel like I’m on the right track.
Also, I can’t wait to check out the ones I haven’t seen before.

Hi Chris, well I’ve got some posts to write in April, so I might revisit, as I’ve come across a lot of good blogs (yours included) since writing the original post.
Thanks for the comment!
