While browsing my morning blog feeds I ran into an interesting post on TechCrunch titled Hi, Seattle. Published on May 3rd, TechCrunch’s founder and creator Mike Arrington discusses his latest news – he’s moving out of Silicon Valley to Seattle, WA.

Although many startups are launched and funded right in northern California, Seattle has started to adapt a booming tech community. A few popular venture firms and web startups have been founded and currently reside in the Seattle area, which is why Mike first discusses his move. Becoming immersed in this new community allows for a much easier and natural way to meet budding internet entrepreneur’s, possibly the next big social network or web app.

Many web developers and internet entrepreneur’s know of Six Apart, the amazing design studio who has done work with many popular startups, notably Movable Type and Typepad. A fantastic project they’ve been working on has recently grabbed my attention, found simply at http://www.blogs.com/.

The concept for the site is numbingly simple – create a catalog of the best blogs from many topics, and then syndicate their RSS feeds to show their latest posts. Categories range from business, celebrities, gaming, tech, and really anything you can think of! The front page is chosen by selected editors who work on the site, and inclusion in the network is as simple as submitting your site.

I have been reading Anthony Feint’s blog at http://feint.me/ for a long time now. He shares some amazing motivational posts about getting into the real world of internet marketing, and also provides tips and tricks about how to substantially grow your website and keep motivated.. really it’s more of an inspirational blog than anything else.

I found his book “Flipped: The Complete Guide to Flipping Blogs for Profit” a few months back. I had it in my mind to give it a quick read, but never actually got around to it. However I’ve checked out everything the book offers, and to be completely honest at a modest price of $14 you get a lot with it. You can check out the book here(not an affiliate link) to get some further info about the series.
