We spend a lot of time at Viget Labs keeping an eye on new site launches. People often ask what blogs we follow to keep up, so we put together our list of top 10 blogs following Web 2.0 (in no particular order) in this post on the Four Labs blog.
That blog post won't change much over time, but this lens can, so we'll add to it as new blogs keep popping up.
Web 2.0 Blogs
These blogs are the ones to watch if you care to follow Web 2.0
- TechCrunch
- Mike Arrington reviews new companies often after a talk with the founder(s). The reviews are quick and to the point. With 125,000+ feed subscribers ranging from geeks to venture guys, TechCrunch is currently the center of the Web 2.0 buzz.
- GigaOM
- While not solely focused on Web 2.0, GigaOM is ranked one of the top 100 blogs by Technorati and CNET, with a monthly audience in excess of 500,000.
- PostBubble
- This blog "asks industry experts about what they believe will succeed or crash and give it to you" - meaning each review comes with a success or failure bet.
