Kottke.org

Jason Kottke founded kottke.org back in March of 98. His blog has continually gained popularity over the years and in 06 had between 600,000-700,000 unique viewers per month. kottke.org covers any theme that Jason is interested in, such as; technology, photography, food, design, economics, science, etc. Jason also said that “ Instead of covering what’s happening with the Web, I focus on what people on the Web have to say about the world.” The site is updates around 10-12 times every weekday, consisting mostly of links with a few larger posts here and there. Jason currently blogs full time and receives income from ad space that he sells on his site. Prior to selling ad space Jason received funding from his reader via donations. When asked how his site has changed over the years he said that selling ad space aloud him to be himself more without having to worry about what his sponsors thought of his content. When asked where he finds the links to post, Jason responded with "I link to whatever I find interesting. But that's not strictly true...as in design and editing, I find the process of blogging is more about what you take away than what you leave." He also mentioned that the best links come from off the beaten path. So if you are interested in finding some unique links, or getting to know Jason Kottke make sure to visit his blog.
