Tapping into the blogosphere can be a great way to stay current on the latest news, trends and information in your industry. But keeping up with the millions of blogs in the world is a daunting task. Your best strategy is to select a handful of bloggers that are the most useful to your particular profession and who will offer regular insights about how to better your business.

How do you find these kinds of blogs?

1. Ask around. Check with colleagues about which blogs they read regularly and which ones they find most useful.
2. Check your favorite news site. If you’re an avid reader of the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times, then chances are you would enjoy blogs by those journalists.
3. Go with the most read. Blogs with a large number of readers and comments must be doing something right so see what all the hype is about. Search Technorati.com for the highest-ranking blogs. You can find the Top 100 Blogs or the Top 10 Small Business Blogs.  Also, Problogger.net, a site about how to create a well-read and money-making blog, has a list of 30 Bloggers to Watch in 2010.
4. Explore the blogroll. Most bloggers have a blogroll or a “blogs I read” listing on their own blog. They are calling out blogs they find useful, so click on a few of those and you might find your favorite blog.
5. Tap industry associations. If you belong to a professional organization, chances are it has its own blogs and/or a list of bloggers writing about your industry.
