Tom P. is a great writer, but the blog never really gets too meaty. As for Hugh...I would argue that he's his own brand and people go there for that more than brand commentary. Can we comment on the comments here? :-)

Currently I find myself reading feeds from these sites most often for Marketing news and opinion.

Seth Godin is a very creative thinker. He can spin conventional marketing lessons (differentiation for example) into his own brand of insight. I've recommended his books to many. His blog, however, is a journal/diary. Don't expect to find professional idea exchanges as with other blogs. It's primarily a book selling vehicle.

Tom Peter's site is great. I find myself checking it regularly even though the above commenter makes a good point about its meaty nature.

Can I get a moo?
Those Kobe beef cows are SUCH snobs. I mean, would it kill them to look up from their massages and moo “hi” once and awhile?

Oh well. They’ll get theirs.

Www.brandautopsy.com has some quirky insights, especially in its assessments of recent books on branding, like Seth Godin's.

The blog at www.brandtrainers.com is all hardcore analysis: ruthless, intelligent dissection of important recent ads and the positioning messages underlying them. I appreciate the absence of the usual blogging cutesiness.

For excellent insider industry gossip, see www.adrants.com.
