Time to update your RSS reader / bookmarks… There is a new blog in town. This new blog is owned by my personal favorite VMware bloggers, Cormac Hogan.
I highly recommend bookmarking his website / adding him to your RSS feed, knowing Cormac he is going to crank out a lot of material. First article is a great one: Nimble Storage 2.0 Architecture Updates. Make sure to read it.
It’s that time of year again, and for the 5th year we will be running the Ask the Expert vBloggers at VMworld 2012 in San Francisco! This is really a great session with the top bloggers answering questions live from the audience. Yes this is your one chance to see Chad Sakac, Frank Denneman, Rick Scherer, Scott Lowe and myself up on the same stage. Last year was a blast, and we had one of the best rated sessions of VMworld, I am sure it will be a blast again this year! If you haven’t registered already, I strongly suggest you lock in your ticket to VMworld by clicking here.
Once you register, be sure to add INF-VSP1504 – Ask the Expert vBloggers to your agenda!

Eric Siebert (vSphere-Land) just published the results of the best VMware/Virtualization blog election today. Just like last year Eric rounded up the gang and recorded a very special edition of vChat. This edition features Eric Siebert together with Simon Seagrave, David Davis and John Troyer. During the vChat Eric and crew announce the Top 25 and comment on each and every single blog out there, they also announced the winners in the new categories that Eric created!
I would like to thank everyone for voting for me again. I am honored to be part of the list and humbled to be voted number 1 amongst so many excellent blogs, especially when listed with old-timers like Mike “RTFM” Laverick and Eric “Scoop” Sloof.
Watch the webcast for the full list, or take a shortcut and check Eric’s vSphere-Land.com post which has all the results.
I want to take this opportunity to congratulate a couple of “newcomers” who’s content I’ve highly enjoyed this year. Starting with Mr Chris “vCloud” Colotti… he entered the top 25 this year at spot 21. If you weren’t following his blog, make sure you do! Of course I cannot forget the newcomers category itself, great work by Barry Coombs, Josh Atwell and Andrea “the giant” Mauro.
Let me repeat what was mentioned at the end of top 25 list… all these bloggers are really approachable. If they present at a VMUG, if you see them walking around at VMworld / PEX / any other event don’t hesitate to step up and introduce yourself. Believe me, it is great to talk to readers and get feedback or just have a chat!
Once again thanks for voting! Make sure you watch that webcast. I loved every second of it.
Yes, it is that time of the year again… vSphere-land.com’s voting for the Top 25 Blogs worldwide has started again. I had the honor of placing 1st four consecutive times, but the competition is huge this year with excellent newcomers like Chris Colotti, scripting warriors like William Lam and Alan Renouf and of course my long time rival/friend Chad Sakac.
I am hoping each of you will select the top-10 blogs based on quality, longevity and frequency. (I personally find length of the article irrelevant, content is King!) I did want to list my top 10 articles over the last 12 months:
The voting is very straight forward and will only take 2 minutes of your time, all you have to do is select your Top 10 favourite VMware related virtualization blog sites and then sort them in your order of preference (ie: 1 – 10) – it’s as easy as that! Don’t wait any longer, cast your vote now!
I just noticed I am listed as one of the top 50 “Must-Read IT Blogs” by BizTech. It is a great honor to be part of a list which features some of the most brilliant people in IT and some of the largest corporate blogs out there. Make sure to read the Top 50 and add these blogs to your RSS reader as there are some real gems in there! Thanks BizTech!
