Lost some credibility putting ValleyWag on the list - especially alongside Dharmesh Shah, Fred Wilson, Eric Ries, etc.

Also, would you call this site a blog?

No, I would call this a news aggregator. The two-way communication that characterize blogs is a big improvement over traditional media. But blogs still have two classes of participants: a few people with permissions to post and comment, and everybody else who can only comment. This site is more of a small-d-democratic facilitator.

Though they have mentioned ycombinator, I would say PG's essays is one of the best resource.

This type of stuff gets voted up here all the time, and I don't really get it. If you need someone else to tell you how to be an entrepreneur, you're doing it wrong.

Imagine Ty Warner trying to find online gurus to guide his cloth animal business, sold through mom and pop stores...

You're comparing apples to oranges. If this really is the case, then Jessica Livingston would have never written "Founders at Work" - a fantastic read for any online entrepreneur

When it comes to the specific group of online entrepreneurs, the ideas may be different, but the EXECUTION has a lot of similarities - from funding to coding to hosting to design to monetization..........there's a lot to be learnt from those who went before us.

Where is Techcrunch?

Even worse, why is valleywag on this list? If anything, this site does more harm than good for startup founders (by spewing baseless venomous hatred about them)

Can we have a tighter criteria for voting up posts that are just lists please.

There's actually a sentence in there where he describes a blog as "very financially, technically."

I should note that the author must be reading this since #15's description has been updated

I slowed when I got to Guy Kawasaki (interested in startups but with no direct experience, contrary to popular belief) and cringed when I saw Scobleizer (same story as Guy), and stopped flat when I got to Seth Godin. Seth's got interesting things to say on occasion, but to real startup work, he's all but useless.

And then -- ValleyWag? Seriously?
