On January 23, 2019 Feedspot had an article with their
latest list of the Top 50 Public Speaking Blogs Every Speaker Must Follow. But the
list is innumerate, since it really has 58 items. Back on December 22, 2016 I had
blogged about How far should you trust a list of 50 Top Public Speaking Blogs
that actually has 54 items? My answer then for a previous list was “not very
far.”
Even worse is their other January 23, 2019 article claiming to list the Top 20 Presentation Blogs, Websites & Newsletters to Follow in 2019 that instead lists just 15 items.
Also, I hate being ordered to follow those public speaking
blogs. Some of the listed blogs are excellent, like Public Words (#2), Manner
of Speaking (#4), Speak up for Success (#8), and Speak Schmeak (#25).
Other blogs really are not worth following. One is David
McGimpsey’s Presentation Blogger (#10). On February 1, 2017 I blogged about his
providing Incomplete and useful advice about recordings of your speech
rehearsals. (David has tried unsuccessfully to spam one of the LinkedIn groups
on public speaking with his stuff, but they took them down almost as fast as he
posted them). Another, Peter Knoury’s Magnetic Speaking (#58) had an atrocious
post titled 7 Unbelievable “Fear of Public Speaking” Statistics that I blogged
about on December 15, 2016 with a post titled Believable and unbelievable
statistics about fears and phobias of public speaking.
