Many VCs use blogs to share advice, wisdom, and other thoughts. A few of these blogs capture most of our attention. The rest slog it out in the long tail.
This chart shows the Google Reader subscribers of 131 VC blogs (click it to zoom in). The underlying data is from Larry Cheng’s VC Blog Directory.
I’m not sure Guy Kawasaki (the #1 blog) is still a VC but I left him on the list because he’s a nice guy who answers my emails. Also, Venture Hacks would be #4 on the list, if we were on the list.
I’ll make a similar chart for VCs on Twitter if someone can extract the follower numbers from this list of VCs on Twitter. (Update: Thanks to Tony Stubblebine and Waldron Faulkner for sending me this data — post coming soon.)

I just sent the VC Twitter account data to Nivi. I wrote code last week to generate this for my own list of event twitter accounts. Enjoy.
