Best Blog Posts of 2006
Posted by Chris Knudsen on December 27th, 2006
Here’s my round up of what I consider the best Utah blog posts of 2006:
- Pete Abilla (Shmula) blogs about his Google job interview process.
- Josh Steimle calls out his competition with a cool matrix of where Utah SEO companies fall on the search engine rankings.
- Michael Eager becomes the first blogger to take on the Provo Labs blow up. This blog post starts a tsunami of blog posts and comments on the Provo Labs implosion.
- Janet’s blog becomes the discussion board for the Provo Labs blow up.
- In another post, Janet blogs about what she would do if she lost her job. Three days later she lost her job.
- Russ Page sounds off on Super Dell Schanze here, here and here.
I’m sure I’m missing other great posts. What were your favorite posts in 2006?
I nominate Phil Burns (Tag Jungle) and his ‘Levels of Desperation’ post. ( http://www.phil801.com/wpblog/2006/08/21/levels-of-desperation/ ). Technically it was a follow-on from the Provo Labs implosion but, for me, that was the post that really started people asking questions. It was really stark and much more raw truth than a startup should ever show - I think that level of desperation made them prime candidates to be taken advantage of and cast them in a bit of a pathetic light. However, it was the nuts and bolts emotion that just isn’t presented and that does make it valuable. It’s probably the only reason why I’m still curious on how Tag Jungle is doing today.
