In the interest of trying to promote in-depth interesting reading, here are a few blogs or websites with articles that I recommend to you:

JOHO the Blog (Journal of the Hyperlinked Organization) –  Dr. David Weinberger (one of the co-authors of The Cluetrain Manifesto) seems to be the principle writer for this blog.  He links out to a lot of (to me) interesting posts and article around the Web, normally about some aspect of the Web.  He pointed the reader towards a bunch of posts concerning the recent WIRED article about Craiglist, as an example.  Lots more where that came from.   This is a great curation, etc. blog that complements the other cultural, science, etc. tidbits I get from Tape Noise Diary and (when I do check it out) Boing Boing.

The Atlantic.com – I don’t check this site out as often as I should, but I almost always find some good in-depth reading here.

Lateral Action – Mark McGuiness, Brian Clark, and contributors come up with thought provoking posts about creativity and entrepreneurship.  They usually take common knowledge or accepted ideas, dissect them, and try to come up with useful info.

IO9.com – Always an interesting assortment of stuff about SF, fantasy, comic book industry (high level overviews), movies and TV, etc.

Permanent Damage (sample article) – this is a weekly column about the comic book industry by writer Steven Grant, part of the Comic Book Resources website.  The reason I bring up this individual columnist is that he writes and says things that few other people seem to be saying at the moment.  By definition, this interests me, even when I don’t agree with him.

Internet Bard – Kat French is a social media manager by day; this is her personal blog.  We hear about the good and bad in her life, her thoughts on various things… oh, and she’s a LOST fan if you haven’t figured it out yet.  She has an endearing way of exposing her flaws and ideas in ways that we can identify with.  I can, at least.  (And even though they’re different blogs and different people, I just got a compulsion to pimp SuzeMuse here, too.  She’s great, too.)

Outspoken Media – Lisa Barone is the main writer of this blog.  Basically, she has a snappy, somewhat cheeky writing style in her posts about social media, business, internet marketing, etc. which I find entertaining and often insightful.  I think I enjoy her stuff because her writing style is different from mine – more direct.  Did I mention cheeky?

Shooting At Bubbles – I’ve written about Steven Hodson before, so you know I’m a fan.  Between his work writing about technology, social media, etc. here and at The Inquisitor,  Steven excels at… well, read and think about the blog title.   (I do wonder why Steven never chose the title Popping Ballons or even Puncturing Gasbags, though – was it taken already?  ;)  )

And finally…

Chris Brogan.com – although the social media sphere is in imminent danger of overdosing on Mr. Brogan (he kind of seems to be everywhere), kind of the way FM radio is known to overplay songs until you are sick of them, the fact remains that he still comes up and describes great ideas about business, communication, social media, marketing, etc.   long before most people ever think of anything similar.  Or at least it seems like that.  And he works really hard.

How about you?  Any good reading to recommend to the readers of Broadcasting Brain? Where do you get your info and thinking fixes?

EDIT: I’m adding Six Pixels of Separation to this listing, too.   Mitch Joel, between his blog posts and his podcasts, strikes me as being very earnest about trying to look at digital marketing, social media, mass media, etc. in fresh, interesting ways.  He’s definitely worth checking out.
