I find that both mostly echo what I&#8217;ve already read from friends, which I probably don&#8217;t need reiterated in email.<\/p>\n<p>And I read <a href=\"http:\/\/planet.postgresql.org\">Planet Postgres<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/highscalability.com\/blog\/2012\/3\/9\/stuff-the-internet-says-on-scalability-for-march-9-2012.html\">High Scalability<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.women2.org\/5-lessons-from-zuck\/\">Women 2.0<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/googleresearch.blogspot.com\/2012\/01\/data-and-code-open-sourced-from-googles.html?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FgJZg+%28Official+Google+Research+Blog%29\">Google Research Blog<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/dailybunny.org\/post\/20408076443\/bunny-is-a-scholarly-bunny\">Daily Bunny<\/a>. I really like <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/katemats\">@katemats<\/a>&#8216; shared links. <\/p>\n<p>And I get a lot of curated content from friends on Twitter, of course.

I like Pinterest, but I find that I *create* boards from image searches there, more than I browse others. <\/p>\n<p>The last few aren&#8217;t directly business-related, but they do influence my thinking and help me shape writing, thought and art. Looking at the list I just made, I notice that I&#8217;ve shifted my reading to women&#8217;s writing. Last year when I looked at what I&#8217;d been reading, there were almost no women&#8217;s voices. <\/p>\n<p>What do you read?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I asked twitter last night and this morning &#8220;What blogs \/ aggregators do you follow for business advice?
