Just picked up Blogging Heroes. Pretty interesting to read about all of those powerful bloggers.
There are some very interesting heavy-weight bloggers out there that have been doing it before it was even called "blogging."
What was your favorite chapter?
I read this book too about a year and a half back. I liked the format of the book: open-ended questions and then let the interviewee just talk about how they got started. Fun read.
