Web Icons - Best Blogs Asia
I’ve created a new way of linking to my favourite Web Guys, using “Web Icons”, very easy to implement in blogs.
These are the guys I follow when developing my sites, some may call them “icons” of the web industry. Some of these guys provide tips which I can use straight away or some are just an interesting read, taking into account something I already know.
Icons Idea
I already created the Free Twitter Backgrounds, which was fun so wanted to do some more graphics.
My idea to create icons of well known web faces came about when I saw Zac Johnson’s blog.
He’s currently got a little character who wouldn’t look out of place in a Lord of the Rings film, but didn’t realise until later that it was supposed to be him!
Shoemoney
Good ol’ Shoemoney, a guy who was fat and poor then learnt the way of the web and became less fatter and more rich. As a homage to him, here’s an icon you can place on your site.
He’s a Web Icon because…he specialised in a popular niche, developed and sold businesses and says what he thinks.
John Chow
John Chow has been blogging for years and makes no quams about promoting affiliate programmes just to make a quick buck, although the content is at times great, it’s a shame the site is so full of adverts.
He’s a Web Icon because…he’s very good at self promotion and obtaining details/monetising from users on his blog.
Yongfook
Yongfook has to be one of the most interesting Web Producers out there, he can code, design excellent sites, write well and has great ideas. I think he comes up with so many ideas that he starts to lose focus, sites like Sweetcron and Opensourcefood were popular because of something he was interested in.
He’s a Web Icon because…he’s witty, constantly “tweeting” and developing new exciting work.
Kieron Donoghue
Kieron from Here comes across as a nice guy, whilst he doesn’t give technical tips on making money, he does use social media tools well and has many money making domains, although would be nice if he developed them a bit more.
He’s a Web Icon because…of his famous Bank Statement, his single worded popular domains and interesting topic posts.
