Top 250 Blog Posts

Voila une liste de 250 articles de blogs, en anglais, qui mériteraient définitivement une traduction en français. D’un autre coté, cela peut servir pour le moment au anglophones et/ou ceux qui n’ont pas trop séchés les cours au collège.

Personnellement, je m’intéresse aux articles de Seth Godin en particulier. Il m’apprend beaucoup de choses en tant que blogueur novice. Je dois dire aussi qu’en parcourant d’autres articles, la qualité est vraiment la, donc a vous de savoir en tirer le meilleur parti.
