Top 10 Bloggers to Follow in 2009

While checking out PlanetLotus today, I was struck (shocked, impressed, amazed, astonished, astounded, stunned) by the number of Lotus blogs available there now. I was checking out the activity on the Teamstudio-sponsored Governance for Notes blog when I started thinking, if I could only follow 10, which 10 would it be. Hmmmm.

First of all, it’s unfair to include the Teamstudio sponsored blogs or those of Teamstudio employees. Although I will list them here since, uh, well, since I can.
So with the help of a few of my friends, here’s my list.

    1. Ed Brill Ed is the gateway to all things IBM/Lotus
    2. Julian Robichaux Julian has great technical content and he’s a really nice guy
    3. Mikkel Heisterberg Because Mikkel actually uses enterprise java with Notes
    4. Nathan Freeman Always pushing the UI in interesting ways, and not shy about sharing his opinions about IBM – good or bad
    5. Bill Buchan Usually on topic and very entertaining
    6. Chris Blatnick Because usability is so overlooked
    7. Paul Mooney Great admin tips and very funny
    8. Mary Beth Raven Wonderful insight into Notes/Domino futures
    9. Volker Weber He seems to know stuff before anyone else
    10. Daniel Nashed Excellent Lotuscript and API expertise
This exercise was a lot harder than I expected it to be. I thought my challenge was going to be coming up with more than 6 or 7 top bloggers. It wasn’t. The problem was who is omitted from the list.

1 - You seem to have included a non-blogger in your bloggers list.

Thanks.

8 - @6 Vitor - Still no name? The blog URLs I used came from PlanetLotus. What am I missing? I'd hate to think someone is upset at me because I used an incorrect URL.

9 - What about Chris Miller??

10 - @9 -Yeah, Chris has some good stuff too. As does Bruce Elgort and others I came up with. Keeping it to 10. That's the trick. Granted,there is no reason one has to limit the list to 10, but clearly the 333 currently listed on PlanetLotus is a bit too many.

11 - @8 - Scott, Vitor is referring to Volker. Volker's home page claims not to be a blog.

Posted by Grant Norman At 05:43:51 AM On 03/02/2009 | - Website - |


12 - @11 Thanks for the clarification Grant. I now see that Volker refers to his site as a Website, not a blog. But since he has decided to include it on PlanetLotus, an aggragator of Notes-related blogs, I'll stand by my list.

13 - Thank you, Scott. Of course I don't know things first, but often I am not afraid to say them first.
