Inc. Reads

Posted by Carole Matthews at 12:59 PM

Hillary Johnson writes in the August 2005 issue of Inc. that some of the smartest people she's met, she's met by reading their weblogs. As a complement to her list of regular reads, the Inc. and Inc.com staff thought we'd share our own list with Fresh Inc. readers.

KC's Blog

In this internationally read weblog, KC discusses the ins and outs of the software industry. Issues such as �The Failure of IT Projects� and �The Implications of No Privacy� are dissected and contemplated with finesse and wit. In addition to KC�s clever assertions about the state of the IT business, he also includes links, responses, and reviews of other business and technology weblogs.

Space Politics
http://www.spacepolitics.com/
Anyone in the aerospace industry definitely will want to keep tabs on this weblog, as will space enthusiasts and those entrepreneurs who want to track technology policy. The author, Jeff Foust, also edits The Space Review, ( www.thespacereview.com/) a site that contains essays and commentary about the final frontier.

Virginia Postrel's Dynamist Blog,
http://www.dynamist.com/weblog/index.html
Postrel's first book, The Future and Its Enemies, rejects the left-right political dichotomy and suggests that the real battles these days are between stasists -- those who distrust change -- and dynamists -- those who embrace it. Most entrepreneurs will probably find themselves, like Postrel, on the dynamist side of the fence. Her second book, The Substance of Style, is about the increasing importance of aesthetics in today's economy. Her weblog is a mix of dynamist political commentary and notes on consumer culture.

WinkyShock, Inc.
http://winkyshock.blogspot.com
This weblog is "The Office," only in weblog form. It's an amusing daily record of life in cubicle land with a kooky cast of characters.

As one of the AdPulpers, we greatly appreciate the shout-out. Thanks!

I want to mention that The Global Small Business Blog -- http://borderbuster.blogspot.com -- is conspicuously absent from this list. Especially given the importance of global trade for small businesses, including The Global Small Business Blog as one of your readers' resources is essential.
