I’ve made a promise to myself not to keep pasting other people’s posts into my blog, but I have stumbled arcoss a few that are most worthy of just that!

This post is an amalgamation of a couple over on Mike Fruchter’s Thoughts on Social Media blog (a post was mentioned by someone on Friendfeed). He has recommended good people to follow on Friendfeed, which is something I have to say I have struggled with (outside of the circle of contacts made through co-workers at iCrossing.

Here’s is my amalgamated list (plus a few personal recommendations):

Short Bio: Robert is a husband, father, blogger, technical evangelist and author. Scoble is best known for his popular blog, Scobleizer, which came to prominence during his tenure as a technical evangelist at Microsoft. He currently works for Fast Company as a video blogger. There is a reason why Robert is the most followed person in social media.

2) Atul Arora
