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.


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.
