Internet Business Daily

Before our friend Kevin Rose came along and made it painless to keep up with all the technology news going on, it was very inefficient to try to read everything. The best way to stay ahead of the pack (regarding Internet business…and all business for that matter) is to know your opponent. If sitea.com comes out with this great new feature, you want to know every aspect of why and how it works for them. Then you can use this information to make it better and do it yourself.

Basically read, read, read all you can about Internet business. Ever since I started in this industry, I eat, sleep, and live the Internet. When I am not at work putting my skills to the test, I am at home reading up on every little tid bit of information I can get my hands on. I suggest everyone trying to be successful do the same. Now that social news sites and blogs are so popular and abundant, it is ridiculously easy to keep up with technology news. Here are some websites that will keep you up to date on everything you need to know:

• digg.com – One of my favorite ways to learn about anything interesting going on with the Internet or technology. Although the majority of digg stories are either about programming or funny websites, there are still many stories on there that can help you discover new ways to make money. Just don’t get distracted by a story about Jessica Alba in a bikini.
• originalsignal.com – This site is a feed aggregator of all sites relating to Internet business or technology. This is the best source for startup related news. Original signal is an automatically updated site with all Internet business news from all the top blog/news sources. This sites makes me truly believe we are in the second Internet boom, there are about 20 new startups listed there every single day.
• techcrunch.com – With many posts per day to this blog, it is one of my favorites to read. Mike Arrington knows what he’s talking about. When a blog reaches over 130,000 subscribers daily, the credibility of the blogger is undeniable.
• johnchow.com – Last but certainly not least is John Chow’s blog. He is a very successful and self named “dot come mogul.” He writes about topics that are not only useful to advanced webmasters, but also for beginners. Best of all he is always willing to help out the little guys.

Now obviously these are not the only sites I use or you should use. There are many sites out there that help you stay ahead of the competition. Just keep digging for more and more information and eventually you will be at the forefront of the industry.
