DISQUS

Come Together: Who do you have a blog crush on?

  • Gavin Heaton · 1 year ago
    I have too many to list, really. But I am fickle ... on the crush list one week, and in the "so over it" list the next ;)
    You my friend, are an evergreen.
  • Julian Cole · 1 year ago
    Mine is definitely, Imnotantisocial (http://imnotantisocial.blogspot.com). I don't even like female fashion but somehow I just keep going back and reading her stuff. She updates everyday with some interesting story about her life.
  • Kate Richardson · 1 year ago
    Jules me too. She's a dab hand with the makeup brush and the keyboard.

    I also have one on Neil Perkin.

    But you know, new crushes spring up every week

    I have a mega-blog-crush on Richard Huntington's Adliterate.

    Even though he only posts occasionally, I don't always agree with him and he totally ignores my responses anyway, I LOVE his work.

    I heart it.

    Gavin - if I am an evergreen does that mean that people pine for me? (Wow - who knew I was becoming my father - dad jokes rule!)

    Julian, Kate - cool, thanks for the heads up about Miss Karen's musings. I think I've come across Neil Perkins before, but it's cool to be reminded.

    It's interesting to see that two commenters have already said that their crushes don't last very long. Mine on Chris Brogan has only been intensifying as the posts roll by. I agree with Gavin though that I have quite a few bloggers with whom I'm currently enamoured:

    Connie Bensen, Kevin Kelly, Faris Yakob, Noah Brier - I love you guys. Thanks for giving up your time and your awesome intellect to make my smile broader and my cortex larger :-)

    I <3 Get Shouty, I want to be Katie Chatfield when I grow up (except, of course, still a man).

    Ok - I see some aren't relating this just to the marketing and digital sphere, therefore I feel obliged to relay some of my fav's (mainly fashion, home and lifestyle):

    http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/ - best street chic photographer going
    http://www.sfgirlbybay.blogspot.com/ - life crush... I want to live in San Francisco
    http://www.copenhagencyclechic.com/ - I live on my bike but not quite as stylishly
    http://www.bryanboy.com/bryanboy_le_superstar_fab/ - the home of the 'personal brand pimp'
    http://www.thecobrasnake.com/ - random photos of people partying/subculture

    Kate - marketing and digital sphere? What do you think this is - some kind of industry blog?!

    Thanks for those links - I fight an ongoing battle with myself over spending on clothes. I just bought a couple of pairs of skinny jeans for my skinny legs, and more recently have been looking at my shoe collection and wondering if it doesn't need a little bit of an update:

    <img src="http://scottdrummond.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/shoes_glorious_shoes.jpg" alt="My ever-growing shoe collection">

    Yeah, I'm pretty much a sucker for shoes, especially high-tops (mainly the Nike Dunk). I could own twice as many pairs and still crave more, so I just deny myself trips out to shoe stores as much as possible, because I don't need that kind of temptation :)

    I'm clapping my hands together like a little girl with pigtails- you're blogging, you're BLOGGING!

    Blog crushes come and go...the sizzling and scintillating

    I love a long term romance though, an interplay of inspiration, and that lovely leap between having an imaginary friend, and finding a new soul mate

    I love that Katie remembered youpissedmeoffyoubastard. It is just a shame that he no longer posts. It was gold while it lasted.
  • Jye Smith · 1 year ago

    Hey Simon,

    Actually they're Vans, but I totally agree, they are nice ;-) Always make me feel much happier when I slip them on.

    Cheers for your list mate, and if you like this template, just go check out the release notes about it over at Smashing Magazine.

    Thanks for having me on your list Simon. There are some great Blogs here that I have never heard of... I'm going to subscribe now. Thanks for the inspiration.
  • Scott · 12 months ago
    Hey Mitch - thanks for dropping by and commenting. Most of the bloggers on Simon's list are wonderful Australian writers and the social media and strategy/planning community here in Australia are doing some wonderful work.

    But I did notice that you sneakily avoided answering the blog post question. So right now Mitch, who do you have a blog crush on? I know I would love to know who would be on your list and I'm sure Simon would really like to see your list too :-)

    Thanks again for dropping by.
