More Authors Blogging

Add Tim Sanders (Love is The Killer App) to the list of authors who have taken up blogging. I like his post yesterday on the ever present Barticle, articles that got turned into book and should not have. You'll see he mentions 800ceoread as a means to avoiding bad books. :)
In another great post, Tim also quotes a survey that shows there is a big reading gap between the average business person and Fortune 1000 executives (hint: you probably need to read more).
I thought I would compile a decent list of other authors who are also wisely getting their message out through blogging:
- Frans Johansson (The Medici Effect)
- Seth Godin (Small is the New Big, Purple Cow)
- Tom Peters (Re-Imagine)
- Ben McConnell and Jack Huba (Creating Customer Evangelists)
- Laura Ries (The Origin of Brands)
- Bob Sutton (Hard Facts, Weird Ideas That Work)
- Guy Kawasaki (The Art of The Start)
- Malcolm Galdwell (blink)
- Andrea Learned (Don't Think Pink)
- Jill Konrath (Selling To Big Companies)
- Steve Farber (The Radical Edge)
- Lisa Haneberg (Focus Like a Laser Beam)
- Brian Carroll (Lead Generation for The Complex Sale)
- John Hagel (The Only Sustainable Edge)
- Joe Jaffe (Life After The 30-Second Spot)
- Greg Stielstra (Pyromarketing)
- Dan Pink (A Whole New Mind)
- Chris Anderson (The Long Tail)
This list is in no way complete. Please leave others I have missed in the comments.

In Personal Finance and Investing - 800 CEO Read Blog
Here is a dump of some of those links that have been building up in my bookmarks:
- Charles Fishman walks around Wal-Mart with Washington Post reporter Bob Thompson and talks about The Wal-Mart Effect.
- Andy Kessler reads alot of business books, but doesn't know why because they mostly suck. He does see our view of the new business book as one that shows you a different way of viewing the world. He says Mr. China, Wisdom of Crowds, The Hypomanic Edge, and Everything Bad Is Good For You are examples of books that help you see into the future.
- Biz Book Talk reviews Lee Eisenberg's The Number.
- Business Evolutionist gives his take on A Whole New Mind.
