I read a lot of security blogs and there are more good ones being started all the time. I like to draw people's attention to them so that new bloggers can grow and flourish, adding their own ideas to the mix. And I hope to encourage new bloggers to keep posting by bringing additional traffic to their site.
A good example of a new blog that has plenty of potential is the new Google Security Blog. Most everyone agrees that Google has some very intelligent people, but until now we didn't really have someplace to read their writing. I just hope they start posting more often. As I commented on the Dark Net site, they're going to have to post regularly to build the audience they deserve.
On the 1-man IT Department blog, Michael is a security expert in the early stages of his career. I strongly encourage using blogging as a way to grow professionally, something friends like Michael Farnum and Cutaway will echo. I've been promised a review of Cobia, so I'll be checking back often.
David Whitelegg isn't pulling too many punches on his IT Security Expert site. He's in the UK and so has a slightly different the the majority of security bloggers, who are mostly American. I really liked his rant against Google. I love using Google products, but I hate thinking of the amount of information they keep in their database that can tracked to me and my habits.
Do you know of anyone else who's come onto the security bloggers scene lately? Let me know. I think someone was going to organize a blogger meet up at Black Hat. I'll let you know when I find out more.
Hey Martin, Dark Reading (http://www.darkreading.com/) is a different site from us! We are just plain old Darknet (http://www.darknet.org.uk) Cheers.
