Android, and business technology innovation.

BUSINESS/FINANCIAL BLOGS
• Naked Capitalism
• Over time, I’ve come to conceive of Naked Capitalism as an effort to promote critical thinking
through the medium of a finance and economics blog.

going on beneath the surface of major news stories.

developments. One of the reasons McBride is able to do this so well is that he has an almost
uncanny knack of recognizing which facts really matter.

7. BUSINESS/FINANCIAL BLOGS
The Big Picture
•It is designed for a wide audience ranging from investment professionals to media types to
anyone else interested in investing, markets, and the economy, with a healthy sprinkling of
behavioral analysis and digital media thrown in for good measure.
•I like this blog because it seems reliable by design, laden with facts, statistics, and informed, data-
driven opinions.

8. ENTERTAINMENT BLOGS
• Variety
• The reason we chose Variety is the fact that it actually deals (mainly) with the entertainment
news and not with the gossip that surrounds it. Recognized and respected throughout the world
of show business, Variety is the premier source of entertainment news.
• Variety is an interesting blog to entertain the public because it has different news about films, tv,
videos, jobs and more.

almost everything that deals with the entertainment world. Being one of the fastest-growing,
most influential properties on the Internet, Eonline reaches more than 28 million unique users

members in 40 countries enjoying more than one billion hours of TV shows and movies

12. LINKEDIN

13. ABOUT LINKEDIN
• Advantages of “Recommendations”
It’s an excuse to connect. While some people make unsolicited
Recommendations, the majority of Recommendations are the result
of the receiver requesting them. That prompts the requester to
engage the recommender and remind them of why they value the
requester.
