Finding Blogs Written by Successful People
June 21st, 2008 by admin
I am always searching for information written by successful individuals. Whether they are multimillionaires or leading divisions of the world’s largest companies, I want to learn as much as possible from them. This is how I go about locating new sources of information.
Google and LinkedIn are some of the best resources. The search query that I use contains the following parts:
* the name of a large company (such as Goldman Sachs) or the name of a growing startup (like Powerset or Zoho) combined with the term “at”
* the term “blog”
* site:linkedin.com search operator to find results on LinkedIn
* eliminating extraneous search results like duplicate updated profiles or results from LinkedIn Answers
Here is a sample search query:
“at goldman sachs” blog site:linkedin.com -intitle:recently -intitle:answers -intitle:”Linkedin Blog”
The next step is to go through the search results to find blogs written by top people:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=qsZ&q=%22at+goldman+sachs%22+blog+site%3Alinkedin.com+-intitle%3Arecently+-intitle%3Aanswers+-intitle%3A%22Linkedin+Blog%22&btnG=Search
Happy searching!
