First time poster, reading for about 4 months now. Just wanted to let you know I already subscribe in my reader and whenever I get the chance I tell people (and personal finance bloggers) that are interested in social media, or learning about social media, that your blog is a must!
I've learned quite a bit from you and you've helped me open my financial planning blog to the world of social media... in the process I've become a pretty powerful stumbler in my niche over on StumbleUpon.
I started my blog with the objective to log early shifts in the way organizations uses software, services and methods for building software to scale their operations. The information based on my experience and observations working for a software company.
Lately I blog about a small project that I started building a tool for people/companies using blogs to reach their audience in a more focused way. I enjoy blogging and reading other people blogs, learning about all the tools that support the blogsphere. I enjoy the interactions with new friends I met (virtualy and in real) since I started blogging.
Who knows where I'll end at going forward. For now I'm having a great time and it is a fulfilling complement to my already technical life.
Chris Brogan's blog is an inspiration, educational and fun all at the same time.
Already a (long-time) subscriber! And fan! And evangelist!
I write a blog that's basically self-development via stories, using my life as a gigantic lab experiment. (Don't all rush there at once!)
Seriously, I think people on this blog would get more out of my newsletter, all about helping you become a better communicator, no matter what your discipline.
It combines stuff I've learned across various careers (TV copywriting, commercial acting and graphic design so far--I'm old!)
Plus recos for cool books, music, films, etc. to keep you inspired.
(And if you're interested in creating your own newsletter, by all means read my tutorial: I spent months researching this stuff before I pulled the cord on my own:
Thanks for the invite to share. I just launched a new site called 170spoons.com. It's a resource for tools, tips, and tutorials for technology. The goal of the site is to build a community around folks who know they can use technology (mostly web and computer) better but either aren't motivated to learn or don't understand the payoff.

Already a subscriber and 100% reader according to Google Reader's Trends :)
Great idea, too, Chris, I've already checked out the blogs above and continue to be amazed at the quality of conversation going on. Thanks for doing this an introducing me to them.
Here's mine:
New Tech Heroes follows the people and organizations that are creating the future on the Internet. We're fascinated with new technologies that make virtual conversation possible online, bringing people and opportunities together.
I belong to this upcoming generation of entrepreneurs, so my blog and media channel represent my point of view about the digital era we are living/working in.
Been subscribed for almost 2 months now and definitely in my A-List on Google Reader.
I blog at http://uniquefrequency.wordpress.com and it's focused on new/social media but there's some traditional media stuff in there too. It does have a little of a Singaporean perspective, so it may be useful for people who want to know what's going on in this portion of the world.
Excellent idea, Chris. I'll do it in my next post. Thanks.

Already a subscriber! Such a wealth of great info!
My website: http://www.horsepowerandheels.com I am a drag racer, and blog about my daily journeys and female perspectives of driving a PRO level racecar.
My blog is essentially taking ideas from smarter people and then mucking with it. The themes are generally my current areas of interest - marketing, product management and social media - with a little music and geography thrown in.
Chris Brogan is a big reason why I'm doing what I do.
I keep a blog about what I learn and see about social media and social networking through producing my 2 web video shows, Gardenfork.tv and RealWorldGreen.com, and the community forum for viewers of the 2 shows, The Greenhouse.
A lot of people talk about social media, I'm out there creating it, and I occasionally remember to write blog posts about it.
Chris, just added you. I found myself here from time to time from links on other sites and such. Always seem to learn something - Jumped over from Eric's site this time. Just subscribed.
I have a personal blog which, I guess, is mostly about me being a dad. I post about just any old every day stuff. I am about a month into a photo a day project 365 too.
I have been dabbling in video (my editing/production skills are still in their infancy stages).
The HubSpot Internet Marketing Blog covers Internet Marketing, SEO, PPC, Landing Pages, Marketing Analytics and other Internet and lead generation topics.
Chris, I already subscribe but as others have posted, I'll share on reader!

Hey Chris,
Nice new site design! Must admit I usually read your blog in my bloglines but had to come check it out based on your recent posts. It really looks great.
I also have a "main" site that's kind of a conglomeration of all my stuff (writing, design, real estate) that I'm still finding my footing with but feel free to check it out. You'll find it at http://annieandersonblog.com and the feed is http://annieandersonblog.com/feed
Thanks! ~ Annie

Hi Chris,
Excellent idea this.
I read your site via Google Reader but had to come and visit to see the new design, which looks fantastic by the way!
I am a freelance new media designer & consultant based in Peebles in the Scottish Borders. I write about the web and technology but, increasingly, with a view to how we can start to use this in classrooms - due to an involvement with Higher Education.
I made a New Year's resolution to spend more time blogging, commenting and (hopefully) getting more people to stop by and let me know their thoughts on what I write - I'm currently basking in the afterglow of Guy Kawasaki leaving a comment yesterday!
Many thanks Chris - keep up the (annoyingly) good work!

Hi Chris,
You know me by now, and thanks for the tweet. I've subscribed in Google reader rather than coming to the web site every time. But I love the re-design!
One of your social_friends and followers for a few months.
I write my personal blog mostly about daily walk with God, inspiration and encouragement from Bible. Getting ready to start writing my own opinion on churchIT stuff. Posts in English & Polish.
Man I am digging your new layout! Very clean, and I'm definitely a fan of the double right column setup. Finally got through the back-logs of my RSS reader and saw your post pointing out the new design, good thing too otherwise i may have not even known!
I run two blogs: www.brentter.com - an advertising blog i've maintained for a while now, mainly just posting news/campaigns, etc.. that i find interesting.
www.addto10.com - this is my new venture, the design is still in the works and changes almost daily but it's my "tech/web" blog.
I work in interactive advertising so my daily news feeds jump between the two blog categories.....so i figured why not make a separate blog to satisfy the nerd side of my life... Cheers, Brent
