The bloggers that I love are those that surprise me. They take me on a journey and then turn around and give me a whack (sort of like Roger von Oech’s Ball of Whacks) — mostly in a good way.
This always makes me think … about the way that I write, the things that I write about … and how it could all get better. Today I have an article over at MarketingProfs talking about the types of blogs and bloggers that I love. Check it out here.
Oh, and speaking of great writing, my alien friend, Mindblob, has a fantastic article on the homeless in Paris. It is a great documentary style post that combines insight, beautiful writing and some excellent imagery and video.
Enjoy!

Hi Gavin,
Thank you for that very nice mention. Wow!
: )
In this era of media overload, I like people painting the top of icebergs in red to help us discover that there is something huge under. They distract our attention from our loose look over the news and help us focus on essential things.
The great thing about blogging is that once we grab one of these “surprises”… we can spread it around and point the iceberg from multiple angles.
I think the headline is too late for visual in the pic.
