Learning from what’s in the tool box of top bloggers
We’re living in an age of information overload. Knowing how to sift through the streams of information for gold nuggets without breaking a back is the skill that we all need to learn and develop. No doubt, the next generation markets (who are now in high school and college), will be measured by how efficient they are at filtering and responding to information.
When it comes to searching the web, the best at it are possibly the top bloggers. Top bloggers have an uncanny ability for uncovering the stories and discussion that their audience will eventually care about. They do it by sifting through piles of information usually while maintaining their day job. Therefore, knowing how top bloggers efficiently zero-in is a valuable lesson for all of us.
Here are a couple of very helpful posts by a top blogger, B.L. Ochman . In her first post, How I Keep Up With It All: My Top Blog Research Tools, she outlines some tools and techniques she uses. In her second post, Top Bloggers Share Their Favorite Research Tools, she asks other bloggers such as Doc Serls, the co-author of The Cluetrain Manifesto to share their tools and techniques.
I highly recommend these posts for college professors and high school teachers looking to prepare their students for tomorrow’s competitive workforce environment.
