Take Me To Your Leader



Most people have seen the classic sci-fi movie scene (take your pick from any made in the 1950′s) where an alien lands and says “Take me to your leader.” The next step is to take the alien to whoever leads the country – so, President of the United States, Prime Minister of Great Britain, that kind of thing.

I thought it might be interesting to swing that around a little. Put you in the place of the alien and offer you some of the blogs I read that I feel “lead” when it comes to not only social media, but pretty much anything. Just a way of sharing some blog love for people you might never come across otherwise, as well as the usual suspects.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

  • Chris Brogan. Probably someone who’s on more people’s list of recommendations than anyone I know, but deservedly so. Offers fantastic insight into social media, as well as being a genuinely nice guy.
  • Mighty Red Pen. I make this one of the very first blogs I visit each morning. An often hilarious look at examples of really bad grammar.
  • PR-Squared. As a PR guy myself, perhaps I’m shooting myself in the foot by recommending a PR blog other than my own. But Shift Communication principal Todd Defren’s personal blog is always worth a read.
  • Children. Outstanding and touching blog aimed at protecting the rights of children worldwide.
  • Stuff White People Like. Some people have said that this blog is racist. Personally, I find it a pretty funny (and true) look at one particular part of the human race.
  • Daily Blog Tips. Excellent reference site for bloggers of all expertise. Offers tips on promoting your blog, formatting, and the always fun Blogging Idol contest.

These are just some of the blogs I read on a regular basis that I think you’d like. I’ll be sure to share more in the near future. How about you – any blogs that you feel are worth reading?

  • Footnote. The animal in the picture is a lemur. They are currently on the Endangered Species list. If you wish to help protect them, you can find more details at the World Animal Foundation.

What the heck is that thing?! Ok, my first thought was it's cute and kinda' freaky looking. But then I pictured myself in a room with say 100 or so of them and thoughts of Mogwai come to mind - don't get them wet!

Thanks for the suggested reading, I'll be sure to check a few of them out.

Ha, even freaky animals need love too! :)

It's a baby lemur - even when they grow into adults, their eyes stay bizarrely out of ratio to the rest of their body. Cool animals, definitely.

Hope you enjoy the suggestions.
