. Usenet / GG Groups
- http://groups.google.com/The discussions that take place at Google Groups bring diverse perspectives. It also has a significant history of discussions to draw upon. You can browse through group topic relevant to your blog’s theme or you can search for a specific topic if you want to.
2. Yahoo! Answers
Like Google Groups, Yahoo! Answers is a feedbag for the content-hungry blogger.
3. Google / Yahoo! News
The news services from Google & Yahoo! provide access to tens of thousands of press releases and news articles every day. There services are indeed one of the best source of blogging ideas and search is the best way to go.
4. Keyword Tools
People type the topics, the questions they are interested to know in the search engine and these are captured by the keyword tools. So, if you are seeking a direct path to what users want to find on your blog, take advantage of using keyword tools such as Overture, MSN AdCenter, SEOBook's & Digitalpoint's. You can find a number of questions that help suggests a blog content idea.
5. Technorati
I know most of you are familiar with Technorati. It is certainly helpful for boosting blog’s traffic. But, did you know that they are also a good source for finding ideas to write about? Technorati is possibly the best for researching the most current topics or thoughts on the web. You can do basic search relative to your blog’s them. Sometimes, the posts at Technorati spark debate or disagreement, other times, they open up a whole new idea for information to be shared.
6. Del.icio.us
While Del.icio.us' popular page are not a great source for unique topics, specific tag pages, however, function much like Technorati, in that they provide timely links to pages that people have bookmarked. The site will give you ideas on what people are interested in and perhaps will bring you to blog-worthy material where your next blog content can be base upon.
7. Digg & Reddit
Both sites take user submissions and user votes, and both are best referenced using a search.
8. StumbleUponStumble
Upon can be a good source of blog content ideas although Stumblers often have a preference for humor and the absurd. Some suggested that the best way to use StumbleUpon is to follow their Buzz page and use the "tag" option in the toolbar.
9. Wikipedia
The obvious choice here is to look only at the articles, but I find that many times the discussion can be equally interesting. The search function is the best way to go, as the categorization structure isn't very user-friendly, yet.
10. Craigslist
I am not expose on using Craigslist but someone says Craigslist, like Technorati, is up-to-date, but it's a less tech-savvy and often more "average joe" crowd, which can make for an interesting dichotomy. Supplying your blog’s primary keywords in the search box will bring you relevant material.When you’re out of ideas to write something to blog about, remember the above list of tools or services. If you have some other tools you used for generating blogging ideas, please feel free to add it in the comment section.
