USATODAY Launches New Blogs

I received an email yesterday from USATODAY announcing their "new communities" since I filled out their profile once to comment on an article. I was expecting a news site with social networking elements, but all of them were just blogs. I guess "blog" sounds too casual or beneath them :)

Thanks, Blogs.com... But Please Correct the Name

The people at Blogs.com, Six Apart's new blog directory, were nice enough to add my blog to their directory. It's edited by a team of 5 human editors (TechCrunch's coverage, "Six Apart To Relaunch Blogs.com As Yet Another Blog Directory") which similar to Blogged.com.

As with the Blogged.com people, they placed Silicon Moon's posts under their "Business" subcategory of "Marketing/Small Business." I guess anything about startups is placed under "small business." Anyway, definitely appreciate the inclusion and links. Thanks!

I did send in a request to Blogs.com already to correct the name they have listed. Instead of "Silicon Moon" they have "Growthology." Here's a screenshot with my recent "Building A Billion Dollar Business" post and the wrong blog name below it.


Hopefully this will be corrected soon :)

A Couple Blogs... Nesheim Online, Consuming Ambitions

Couple good blogs I came across recently. First is Nesheim Online, which is John L. Nesheim's blog. He is the author of "The Power of Unfair Advantage: How to Create It, Build it, and Use It to Maximum Effect" and "High Tech Start Up," and also teaches entrepreneurship at Cornell University.

Consuming Ambitions is a blog authored by Tom Cole, a venture capitalist at Trinity Ventures. As you might know, I'm a foodie so this is great for me. Anyway, check them out!
