   Awesome list. Don’t forget to check the local paper for news. Reputable papers linke the new york times, LA Times, even CNN etc… can be really good sources of topics for your next blog articles.

     Nice tip Richard, especially since most newspapers are now online. In fact, I have a very cool android app called ‘World Newspapers” where I can pull up almost anything on my smart phone in seconds. Technology is amazing.

     I’m sure there are more Aaron but no one can follow all of them. I don’t recommend following all of those either, just whatever works for you.

     Actually Isabel, I’m talking about finding niche topics to build blogs on, most are not blogs themselves.

   Wow, that’s a huge list for any blogger to look for and follow. I am sure anybody, who is following a few of these resources, could never run out of options for writing.

     A few is all it takes Daniel, anyone following all of that wouldn’t have time to write anything.

     Mashable and WebproNews are both great picks. WebproNews has a very nice forum that I used to frequent all of the time. I should visit again soon.

   This is a great list, but I’d also recommend finding a local site or some kind of way to learn local news. Sure, we all blog for the entire worldwide community, but from time to time, you can attract a significant amount of readers from your local community as well.

    I would like to add to more useful resource here. Trend Tracker is a webware that allows you to find and track topics on Twitter swell before they explode and are known to all. A real Laboratory buzz. This tool lets you find addresses popular and fashionable subjects before they reach a critical popularity and are taken up by everyone. It included, in addition to trends, 30 hot topics of the moment, which allows for interesting comparisons. Each trend is represented online over a period of 24 hours. But as 24 hours are not enough to get an idea, an archive between 10 and 30 days is also available. Just type the search term and it automatically becomes comparable with the major topics of the moment. The little thing that interests me much more is Live scrolling tweets containing the word or words we want. Hopefully useful …

        All those Web-based Applications are for twitter. If someone design a same kind of application for FaceBook, then it would be like an extra icing on chocolate cake
