Heather Armstrong's dog Chuck

Gary Vaynerchuck, Heather Armstrong and Chris Brogan are names that may not be ringing the celebrity bell in your head, but they are on the “New Celebrity A-List.”    Recently Forbes magazine came out with the top 25 biggest and brightest stars on the internet. People, ok geeks, unknown in the “real world” are gathering followers in a big way-  online. I got excited because some of my favorites made the list- My fascination  with Generation X, Gen Y and technology is keeping me current and ok even a litter cooler than some of my Boomer Buddies.   Who would have ever imagined that a tech blogger could have more fans than Daniell  Steele?  We are in a time of significant change and great opportunity if you are willing to be open to new ways, new ideas and new celebrities!

Here’s the list and I have starred my favorite bloggers. Please share your favorite blog sites.
