Fun with memes

September 11th, 2007

I usually regard blog tagging as a nuisance, kind of like those chain emails you get that tell you to pass some “inspirational” note on to 397 of your closest friends or little Molly who lives under a freeway ramp with only her three-legged ferret for company will meet a horrific fate, which will of course be all your fault. But last month I was tagged for an incredibly useful meme by Marci Alboher, author of One Person/Multiple Careers. Marci was working on a list of her fave female bloggers and kindly requested that I do the same. Easy!

  • Boss Lady, by Lauren Bacon and Emira Mears - Startup heaven for women who get it.
  • Broadsheet on Salon.com - When it comes to current events with a feminist bent, there is no substitute.
  • Business, Career & Personal Finance on BlogHer.com - Self-explanatory. Always kickass.
  • The Salary Reporter by Kristina Cowan - Career news you can use.
  • The Renegade Writer by Linda Formichelli and Diana Burrell - A must for freelance writers.
  • Inkthinker by Kristen King - Ditto, big time.
  • Writers Revealed by Felicia Sullivan - Web radio, live chats and insightful blogging for avid readers and writers.

As a bonus, also check out The Women Entrepreneurs Toolbox: 100 Networking Resources, Guides and Links. You won’t be disappointed. (And I’m not just saying this because I’m on the list.)

Rather than tag a few people to continue this meme madness, everyone reading this should consider themselves tagged. Add your top picks to the comments below, to your own blog, or anywhere that suits your fancy. I encourage you to suggest some of the lesser-known blogs you adore, too. Instead of just recommending the same top-read blogs time after time, let’s spread the link love around, shall we?

    Right now, as I’m contemplating leaving the cube for a more creative/fulfilling living, I’m hungry for good blogs dispensing advice on how to make the leap, and how to live more simply. Here’s a few I’ve found:
    Creatively Self Employed
    Startup Princess
    Zen Habits
    Unclutterer

    Here are mine:

    Communicatrix - because she’s cool and freelancer extraordinaire
    My Open Wallet - because money makes the world go around
    Pinch My Salt - because we all have to eat
    LighterFootstep - because the world will still be here after I’m gone
    The Boomer Chronicles - because eventually we all will have a midlife crisis

    Also, I’m planning my wedding so I’m really into wedding blogs at the moment. http://www.weddingbee.com is my favourite, hands down.

    Hey, thanks, Nina! I’m going to throw mine up at the blog. Like a hairball. Gak gak gak… (I guess that’s my sicko version of catblogging of a Friday.)

    Aw, heck - let’s just do it here:

    I Blame The Patriarchy (come for the education in feminism, stay for writing that’ll blow your doors off)

    This Fare City (amazing tales of a Portland, OR cabbie, all true, all well-told)

    Jesus’ Favorite (what happens when a great comedienne loses a bet with two nerds and has to start a blog)

    swissmiss (what happens when a Swiss designer finds herself in NYC)

    postmodern sass (well-written adventures of a Canadian ex-pat transplanted to the hellhole that is Silicon Valley)
