Here’s to Kent Newsome

Posted on by

Kent, the hardest working man in the blogosphere, is running an experiment to help rebuild his reading list.

I was included in the experiment thanks to a recommendation from Earl.

Kent, you’re being a bit too kind when you say that I’ve been blogging “intermittently” lately. I did appreciate the subtle nudge though. Between work and closing on a home / moving (yep, one down, one to go)… I’ve been busy. I’m not going anywhere though :)

Earl – how did you come across Disruptive Thoughts? And what made you stay? I’m always curious about this with people who read the site.

Kent, here are my recommendations:

Eric Olson: Eric’s a great guy with a sharp mind. His interests overlap with a lot of mine and when he’s not working for FeedBurner he’s getting trounced in our fantasy baseball league.

Josh Kopelman: Josh is an active early-stage investor who shares thought provoking insights. I’m surprised he only has 4,000 subscribers.

Jing Chen: Jing just comleted a cool degree and shares a passion for start-up companies.

Howard Lindzon: Howard’s a scrappy entrepreneur and sharp investor who recently sold his start-up, Wallstrip, to CBS, which will allow him to cover dinner (and dessert) next time he’s in T.O.

David Cohen: David, from Boulder, CO, is “a serial entrepreneur, investor, and technologist.” He’s part of the team behind the buzzworthy Techstars.

    Hi Fraser, I’ve had you in my feeds for some time but I don’t remember exactly how I originally came across Disruptive Thoughts. No doubt it was from a link from another post somewhere. What made me stay is easier to answer…I enjoy reading your post and opinions! You write on subjects that are often out of my life’s experiences and I feel it’s a bonus to learn. Just keep on doing what you do. :-)

    Fantasy Baseball is not my strong suit. The web though – that’s another story. :-)

    Earl thanks for the kind words. My goal is a wide range of topics in a few niches that I find interesting :) Glad you do too.
