The Power of blogging...

We've been  talking about the power of blogging and getting your ideas out in the world through social media.  I want to share with you some of my favorite blogs for you to check out on your own time. 


Gawker: http://gawker.com/.           
 This site keeps me up to date on everything that's happening in the work

The Root: http://www.theroot.com/. 
The Root keeps me up to date on all of the latest news from an African American perspective.

NPR: www.npr.org.                         
NPR is one of my favorite websites.  Not really a blog, but great news.

Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.
I really find this blog essential for keeping up with the latest news.


Guilty pleasures:

Bossip: www.bossip.com
I have to say that I do love Bossip. It is straight up tabloid gossip, but it makes me laugh uncontrollably sometimes.

And just so you so you see examples of the power of blogging, here are two op-ed articles I wrote recently.  So get your ideas out there and blog it out...
