What’s the Buzz

Someone asked me the other day how I know what’s the buzz. Call it buzz, call it hype, call it momentum, but there is something very powerful that occurs when our “animal spirits” cause us to get excited about something.

In the old days, I’d look to publications like Red Herring and The Industry Standard to help identify the buzz. Of course, they’re all gone now, but the rise of the blogs has more than compensated. Here is my list of “hot” links that help me stay on top of the latest buzz:
