What is "5 to See"

If you've scrolled down and looked at the right-hand column, you've seen a "5 to See" header. These are five blogs that we like. Rather than list 30 or 40 or 50 blogs in a long blogroll, we've decided to spotlight five at a time so if you're inclined you can easily check them out and see if they're something you might be interested in bookmarking.

We'll change the five up from time to time, each time providing a short post about the blogs on the list -- you can always see previous lists by selecting the "Five to See" category. So, the initial 5 to see:

TomPeters! -- The blog to "Reimagine" your own "Search of Excellence." The Master and his blog staff offer their thoughts that challenge convention and goad readers to action. Bonus: Peters puts up slides from all or most of his presentations.

The Long Tail -- Wired editor Chris Anderson's blog on the book on the article that crystalizes one of the major -- if not THE major -- way the Web has changed business and knowledge.

Jeffrey Cufaude, Idea Architects -- Known to many in the association community, Cufaude offers a unique approach and outlook on how to be extraordinary.

Brand Autopsy -- One of the first blogs I started following, John Moore of Starbucks and Whole Foods branding fame, talks about real marketing and what branding really is.

Loose Wire -- To mix it up, Wall Street Journal technology columnist Jeremy Wagstaff has been blogging for a long time. Seems most posts of some insightful look at a tech issue -- and his sidebar resources are priceless.

I have posted a podcast interview with Chris Anderson of Wired and The Long Tail blog at http://www.principledinnovation.com/blog/2006/07/02/pi-podcast-july-2-2006/

Scott,

While I would never consider myself a "Professional Blogger" I would like to say that between reading Ben Martin and Jeff De Cagna's blog and now seeing the ASAE's new blog, it has inspired to be more consistent in reading and posting on blogs. I know have as one of my missions to do that on my site -- http://associations101.blogspot.com/

We will see how it goes. Thanks for encouraging this in myself and many others!!
