作为在线创业者来说，很重要的一步是一直保持在知识方面的优势。 刚起步的网络创业者总是在学习，关注其他公司的发展情况，并寻找新的信息资源。
这份博客列表就是想给大家提供这种资源：20个有用的、引人思考的、并有获利可能的动态和想法。 这些博客都是由领先的个人和公司经营的，它们对我们的日常学习体系的形成提供了帮助。
在这些博客中，不是每一篇文章都是有关创业或者生意方面的。但每一篇都是佳作，值得一读。
下面就是这份博客列表（排名无先后）。
1.OnStartups：OnStartups主要由Dharmesh Shah执笔，是关于在线空间的创业者和新公司的博客。这里有很多有用的信息，每读一次，你至少可以从中吸收一些新的想法。
2.How to Change the World：这是由Apple 公司的前任传道士以及风险投资人Guy Kawasaki执笔的博客。Guy Kawasaki已经以个人的名义创建了多个网上企业，并通过自己的风险投资公司资助了好多人，显然他的教诲是值得一听的。
3.VentureBeat：VentureBeat有一点倾向于关注网下的世界，不过对在线创业者来说仍是值得一读的。所有的内容都写得不错，而且是经过深思熟虑的。
4.Mashable：Mashable是一个比较大的博客，主要关注社交媒体，是严肃的创业者们喜欢浏览的地方。如前所述，这个博客经常传播最新的商业新闻和动态，这对每一个参与社交媒体的人（应该是对每一位在线创业者）都有用。
5.yCombinator' Hacker News：yCombinator是致力于为在线企业提供种子基金的公司之一。这是他们的博客。 （注：它主要是针对科技型的。）
6.Scobleizer：Scobleizer是最早的科技博客之一，由有争议的人物Robert Scoble执笔。这个博客上满是观点和建议，却经常与其他的信息资源持相反的观点。因为这个原因，读一下还是不错的。
7.ReadWriteWeb：这又是一个以科技新闻和创业起步公司为主题的博客。它有不少好的信息，常与科技的最新发展相关。
8.Valley Wag：ValleyWag由Gawker媒体经营，报道硅谷的起起伏伏。对科技型的创业者来说，这个博客是必读的。
9.A VC：准确地说，这是一家自诩为“纽约风险投资沉思录”的博客。对任何一个想从经验丰富的风险投资家那里学到智慧的人来说，这个博客都是最好的去处之一。
10.The Eco Capitalist：由TerraCycle的首席执行官Tom Szaky执笔，这个博客打破传统，开创了一个以新环保理念为基础的新业务。
11.Signal vs. Noise：简称SVN。SVN是由著名的37signals公司创建的。 作为近年来最大的、最有前途的网上创业公司，他们有很多有用的信息与其他创业主分享。
12.Seth Godin's Blog：这个博客由畅销作家Seth Godin执笔，内容有关营销、市场以及人们的看法。它也是每个创业者应该看一下的博客。
13.Tim Berry's Blog：这个博客是由流行的“商业计划Pro”软件的幕后开发人写的。观点和建议多于新闻，但也是知识性的资源。
14.Work Happy：Work Happy为创业者收集了在线工具和资源，访问这个博客绝对很有所值。虽然内容并不是经常更新，但访问还是值得的。
15.Information Arbitrage：Information Arbitrage是由一个网络创业者执笔的网站，以前他是华尔街投资人。在融资方面它具有技术指导性，提供了不少独特的观点。
16.The Netsetter：这个博客由Envato网络公司的首席执行官Collis Ta'eed执笔，它开创性地以深入调研一个成功的在线创业者的各种想法为大家提供了有益的资料。
17.Startup Company Lawyer：这个博客实际上是有关运营一家新公司的各种法律知识的。这方面的信息比较短缺，一定对有潜力的创业者们有很大的帮助。
18.Get Elastic：Get Elastic是有关电子商务以及如何促使网络访问者购物的博客。如果你的商业计划涉及到这一转型，那么这个博客就是必读的了。
19.Lessons Learned：这个博客由风险投资家Eric Ries执笔，当然是必读的了。它的主题都不尽相同，每一个帖子都是满不错的信息。
20.GrokDotCom：这个博客由改版优化公司FutureNow, Inc运作，主要侧重各种网站的有用的、改版和整体优化方面的内容。

20 Must-Read Blogs for Online Entrepreneurs
Posted April 10, 2009 in Business, Tools/Resources
One of the most important parts of being an online entrepreneur is maintaining an intellectual edge. Those who work and start businesses on the web are always learning, always watching other businesses, and always looking for new sources of information.
The goal of this list is to provide that — 20 useful, thought-provoking, and potentially lucrative sources of news and ideas. Each of these blogs are run by leading individuals and companies, and together they can help form a cornerstone of learning in your daily schedule.
Not all of these blogs are about entrepreneurship, or even business, but all of them are well-written and definitely worth looking at.
Here’s the list in no specific order:
1. OnStartups Written primarily by Dharmesh Shah, OnStartups is a blog about entrepreneurs and new companies, mostly in the online space. There’s enough good information here to fuel at least a few new ideas from every read.
2. How to Change the World This is a blog written by former Apple evangelist and venture capitalist Guy Kawasaki. Having launched multiple online ventures personally, and funded even more than that through his VC firm, he’s definitely worth listening to.
3. VentureBeat Possibly skewed a bit towards the offline world, VentureBeat is still worth reading for online entrepreneurs. All of their stuff is well written and well thought out.
4. Mashable One of the bigger blogs, and entirely focused on Social Media, Mashable is often passed over by serious entrepreneurs. That being said, this blog often has breaking business news and information that can be incredibly useful for anyone dealing with social media (which should be every online entrepreneur).
5. yCombinator's Hacker News yCombinator is one of a handful of companies dedicated solely to providing seed money for online ventures. This is their blog. (Note: it’s highly tech oriented)
6. Scobleizer Scobleizer is one of the earliest tech blogs written by the often-controversial Robert Scoble. It’s a blog filled with opinion and advice that are frequently contrary to other information sources. For that reason, it’s a good read.
7. ReadWriteWeb This is another blog that feverishly covers tech news and startups. It’s got a lot of good information and frequently covers the latest developments in the tech world.
8. ValleyWag ValleyWag is a blog run by Gawker media that follows the ups and downs of silicon valley. For tech enbtrepreneurs, this blog is definitely a must-read.
9. A VC Accurately self-described as “Musings of a VC in NYC”, this blog is one of the best resources for anyone looking to glean some wisdom from an experienced venture capitalist.
10. The Eco Capitalist Written by Tom Szaky, CEO of TerraCycle, this is a blog about breaking from tradition and launching a business based around environmentally friendly ideals.
11. Signal vs. Noise SVN is a blog by the popular company 37signals. As one of the biggest and most prominent online startups in recent years, they have lot of useful information to share with other entrepreneurs.
12. Seth Godin’s Blog Written by the 10-time-bestselling author Seth Godin, this is a blog about marketing, markets, and how people think. It’s also a blog that just about every entrepreneur should take a look at.
13. Tim Berry’s Blog This is a blog written by the guy behind the popular “Business Plan Pro” software. There’s much more opinion and advice here than news, but it’s from a very knowledgeable source.
14. Work Happy A collection of online tools and resources for entrepreneurs, Work Happy is definitely a valuable blog to viist. It’s not updated very often, but the content is worth the visit anyhow.
15. Information Arbitrage Information Arbitrage is a site written by a Wall Street investor turned web entrepreneur. It’s very financially technical, and provides a lot of business insight.
16. The Netsetter Written by the CEO of the Envato Network, Collis Ta’eed, this blog provides an unprecedented look into the thoughts of a very successful online entrepreneur.
17. Startup Company Lawyer This is a blog that’s actually about the legal aspects of running a new company. This information is in short supply, and can definitely provide a boost to potential entrepreneurs.
18. Get Elastic Get Elastic is a blog about e-commerce and how to get website visitors to buy things. If your business plan involves this type of conversion, then this blog is a must-read.
19. Lessons Learned Written by venture capitalist Eric Ries, this is a blog that is definitely a must-read. Topics vary considerable, and every post is chocked full of good info.
20. GrokDotCom This is a blog by the conversion and optimization company FutureNow, Inc. It centers on usability, conversion, and overall optimization of a variety of different websites.
That’s it for our list — but what do you think? Did we miss any critical resources? Did you read some of these blogs and decide they weren’t worth it?
