Who are your (virtual) heroes?
If you read through Broadcasting Brain, you’ll get an idea of who some of my online heroes are.
(Time saving note: two of them would be Darren Rowse and Seth Godin, but that’s only two.)
For the sake of discussion, though:
Would you share your list of online heroes with the rest of us? And, if you don’t have any, why not?
EDIT: July 2/08 – this post led to quite a lively discussion in FriendFeed, which you can see below or at this FriendFeed link.
Julian Baldwin:
Adding to my FF response… Steve Rubel, Jeremiah Owyang, Chris Brogan… all interesting writers with diversity…Rubel is always posting interesting links and messages on FF, Owyang always covers interesting research/trends, Brogan has a very loyal community…in another category I'd put Eric Schonfeld, Mike Arrington, Mathew Ingram

When you say “another category”, is that a positive or negative connotation?

Mine are Bob Younce of The Writing Journey and Crystal Clayton of Big Bright Bulb. I also find inspiration from Naomi at IttyBiz.

Excellent. You should try Men With Pens, too.
