I stumbled upon Trisha Okubo’s presentation at this week’s Web 2.0 Expo on slideshare discussing building one’s brand online via blogging. By day she works at eBay developing social ecommerce (I should probably talk to her as I have a few questions in this space) where by night, she runs Omiru.com, a blog dedicated to “real style for real people.”
The presentation is long but very worth it. Enjoy.

A lot of folk who are involved in technology, marketing, public relations, etc read many of the same trade publications and blogs; it’s what many call an “echo chamber.” I have a reading routine every morning that entails Techmeme, Facebook, Google Reader and eventually MS Outlook. Techmeme provides all the buzz in the tech-sphere, Facebook offers catch-up and connection on my college friends, Google Reader provides more in-depth research and MS Outlook details work related matters…but there’s always something missing: true, valued, data and theoretical driven research on a daily/weekly basis. I get a lot of my ideas from academic research and working papers, such as this one just released from Harvard Business School, “An Exploration of Technology Diffusion.” (Did you know that, on average, countries adopt technologies 47 years after their invention? I didn’t.)
Here’s daily academic- and theory-related reading for me:
Do you have any “dense” sites or blogs you read daily?
