Bonjour Montreal

July 10, 2008 · Comments

mitch joel Mitch Joel, superstar of digital marketing and public speaker we all aspire to be, has written me into his 7 blogs you must read article. I have to say that I love my neighbors: Seth Godin, GrokDotCom, Guy Kawasaki, Read Write Web, TechCrunch, and Jeremiah Owyang. I didn’t really know the Grok guys, so they’re going into Google Reader for my regular reads. So here I am learning something from Mitch, yet again.

Je ne parle pas bien, et pardonnez moi pour mon francais mal.

I have about seven friends I know about from Montreal, so hi to you, but if you’re here because of the Gazette, I’m glad to see you. Salut!

Here’s Mitch’s article, and by the way, congrats to Mitch for getting a column in a mainstream paper to help educate the masses on the values of all Six Pixels. : )

ChrisBrogan.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress

Thesis WordPress theme

Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.

With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like ChrisBrogan.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

  • Judy - I really appreciate your insightful comments. It is spot on. I've responded as best as I could over here:

    But here's the gist of it:

    "I don't think that it's male or female quality thing... it is the overall quality regardless of gender, race, sexual preference. That being said, it was also a personal choice. The context of the article wasn't all quality - it was what a business should be checking out if they haven't started looking at any Blogs yet.

    I follow brilliant people (all who are on my personal "best of the best" list) like Kate Trgovac, Christopher S. Penn, Jackie Huba, Joseph Jaffe, Arianna Huffington, Garr Reynolds, BL Ochman, Hugh McGuire, Amber Mac, David Weinberger, Charlene Li, C.C. Chapman and more. I just don't follow them for gender equality... I follow them because I like what they do."

    Chris, you were described as a "young" blogger.

    Kewl!If YOU'RE young then I'M young. I feel better already.

    Regarding the comment from Valeria about the lack of women in the list of must-read-bloggers, the fact that no women's blogs were listed isn't an issue for me. Only 7 sites were listed and of those only 4 were individuals' blogs.

    It's not hard to imagine coming up with a list of 7 must-listen-to-songs or must-see-movies and the 7 artists or directors all being men... or all women. It's just one person's opinion of must-read blogs and really, what's sex got to do with it?

    On the other hand if the number was 20 or more, then I'd probably wonder why women weren't making this individual's list. But I'd just be wondering... and not assuming that there's a problem with the list.
  • Looks like I'll also be getting acquainted with the guys at Grok very soon as well. Godin, Kawasaki and Oywang are also 'never misses' in my google reader.
  • Thanks Chris - I appreciate the kind words :)
  • You know what I'm going to say ;-)

    où sont les femmes ? Really, c'mon! We're in 2008.
  • Valiant effort avec le francais!
