Seth Godin

Darran Rowse

Tim Ferris

Leo Babauta

Gary Vaynerchuk

Jamie Varon

Tommy Ill

Cody McKibben

Lea Woodward

I have included a little about each of these blogs below, in the interest of accuracy I have used each blogs about page for information.

Seth Godin, he is the Marketing Guru for the Web 2.0 world and beyond. Seth’s blog posts are short, timely and packed full of goodness. 

Darren Rowse is a full time Blogger making a living from this new and dynamic medium from blogs like Digital Photography School and TwiTip and Problogger Darren is the Guru when it comes to making a living from publishing your work online. He is a posting machine!

Tim Ferris is an angel investor and author of the #1 New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and BusinessWeek bestseller, The 4-Hour Workweek, which has been sold into 34 languages. Tim is an interesting cat he holds a BA from Princeton University, he has been featured by more than 100 media outlets, including The New York Times, The Economist, TIME, Forbes, Fortune, CNN, and CBS. He speaks six languages, runs a multinational firm from wireless locations worldwide, and has been a popular guest lecturer at Princeton University since 2003, where he presents entrepreneurship as a tool for ideal lifestyle design and world change.

Leo Babauta, has six kids, lives on Guam, is a writer and a runner and a vegetarian, and the owner of Zen Habits. Zen Habits is one of the Top 100 blogs on the Internet, and covers: achieving goals, productivity, being organized, GTD, motivation, eliminating debt, saving, getting a flat stomach, eating healthy, simplifying, living frugal, parenting, happiness, and successfully implementing good habits. He is also the author of a new best-selling book, “The Power of Less: The Fine Art of Limiting Yourself to the Essentials … in Work and in Life“. 

Gary Vaynerchuk has captured attention with his pioneering, multi-faceted approach to personal branding and business. After primarily utilizing traditional advertising techniques to build his family’s local wine business into a national industry leader, Gary rapidly leveraged social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook to promote Wine Library TV, his video blog about wine. As his viewership swelled to over 80,000 a day, doors opened to a book deal, several national TV appearances, and a flurry of speaking engagements around the world. Gary’s dual identity as both business guru and wine guy has made him the “Social Media Sommelier.”

Jamie Varon is the proud owner of her own graphic design and consulting company, Shatterboxx Media. She likes marketing, graphic design (specifically typography and the ampersand), social media, community management, blogging, and reading books.

Tommy Ill is a charming young fellow who happens to make a lot of rap music. When he’s not rapping, Tom also enjoys cleaning up the messes his cat leaves behind and riding in aeroplanes. He also writes fro Stuff.co.nz on his Beats-Me blog.

Cody McKibben is a location-independent digital nomad, a social media coach/consultant, blog developer, WordPress evangelist, writer and traveler born in Sacramento, California, and currently living in Bangkok, Thailand. His two biggest personal passions are for music and travel. He has been bringing together resources on lifestyle design, personal and professional development, social media and more at Thrilling Heroics since 2006.

I’ve been hanging out at home over the last two weeks and have not even looked at lukesnedden.com it has been so busy! I thought about the promises I have made to you my beloved readers over the last couple of months, such as three posts a week, a bigger blogroll, a regular top 5/10 bloggers and I realise that I haven’t just failed me, I’ve failed you guys.

So like the little kid who realises he’s been naughty, I say sorry. But like the little kid I may do it again!

Up until the end of June is a really busy period. Here’ s a taste of what’s to come:
