I update The Webb on far too few Tuesdays with a little ditty about my most recent #blogcrush – a blog that I follow frequently and find inspiration, laughter and deep thoughts from. You know who they are, those bloggers that you’ve never even met but you feel a strange connection…you almost have a little crush on them? These are most definitely folks on my blog roll, and if you are reading and subscribing to The Webb they should be on yours, too.

I learned about this week’s #blogcrush because just about everyone in my little blogosphere-y circle of friends essentially worships her as a hilarious, brazen, sassy, opinionated, genuine, amazing young woman and I was totally out of the loop for not following her.  I’ll admit, being the sometimes shy and often straight-laced girl that I am, my first few times reading her blog I was torn between slight blushing horror and virtual roll-on-the-floor laugh-out-loud giggles.  But that’s just one of the awesome things about Nicole Antoinette, and her blog More Is Better.   After I met her and got to know her EXTREMELY well during my visit to San Francisco (let’s just say she and I were locked in a bathroom for a few hours and Nicole was most certainly not wearing pants* for most of the time) I can guarantee that much like her blog, with Nicole there is so much more than meets the eye.

If you want just a small shot-sized dose of Nicole’s humor (she is frequently referred to as an online personal humor essayist) you really need look no further than her About Me section labeled “The Girl.”  First of all, I have the utmost respect for any girl who will not only refer to the boy she’s seeing as James Bond, but also finger crossie promises things to him via About Me page.  Second of all her Life List is one of my favorites, as it includes lots of different stuff from milking a cow and going canoeing to “”Get photographed naked for TimeOut NY’s Naked New Yorker Photo Shoot” and ride in a submarine.  Plus she has a mad girl-crush on Chelsea Handler who is easily in my Top 3 list of celebrity girl crushes as well, so it only makes sense that if she gets to drink vodka with Chelsea then I am TOTALLY there, too.  Third of all, she runs an amazing website design/development company with her roommate/BFF/heterosexual lifemate/former #BlogCrush called Shatterboxx Media which basically works to make the internet a prettier place (truly, her site is a great example of their beautification!)  Fourth of all she writes for a bunch of other cool places AND she introduced me, via her internship, to The Bloggess who is another person I had no knowledge of because I pretty much lived under a rock.

But her blog is right – More Is [Definitely] Better.  So when she writes about her shenanigans like finding wine glasses on Amazon that will fit an entire bottle of wine and maybe kinda sorta not knowing EXACTLY where Alaska is geographically I am completely drawn in to the way she makes the most simple things seem like the greatest stuff ever.   A rarity in much of blogging, she shares so much of herself online and does it well.  Whether she’s writing about being single and internet stalking potential dates or the penultimate awkward conversation with a boy you really really really ridiculously like about your blog and his place in it, she is engaging and raw and funny as all hell.  This is a skill I have rarely seen executed so well in blogging.

And this week, when Nicole managed to intermingle ALL OF THAT AMAZINGNESS with one of the most beautifully raw posts about falling for someone and finding out what matters, I wanted to jump up and down screaming at the top of my lungs to everyone I knew about it’s awesomeness.  If you click NOTHING ELSE in this #BlogCrush, click the link for this post.  I read it and tears actually formed in my eyes.  I heart it THAT MUCH!  Just to give you a little taste:

Thing one is that you really don’t know how deeply you’re in the hole of I’m-unlimited-crazy-about-him until you look up and see that ground level is thundering light-years above your head.

So if you are looking for a hilarious (seriously HILARIOUS) and frank and deliciously vulgar take on the ups and downs and all-arounds of figuring out your 20′s and making two-buck-chuck look classy, make sure to add More Is Better to your feeds.

* Figured that would get your attention – The plumbing in James Bond’s apartment backed up at the post-post-Tweet Up event and we diligently cleaned it up AFTER she went searching in San Francisco at 3 AM for paper towels and a plunger.  Do you know how hard it is to find a plunger in San Franciso at 3 AM?!

I update The Webb on far too few Tuesdays with a little ditty about my most recent #blogcrush – a blog that I follow frequently and find inspiration, laughter and deep thoughts from. You know who they are, those bloggers that you’ve never even met but you feel a strange connection…you almost have a little crush on them? These are most definitely folks on my blog roll, and if you are reading and subscribing to The Webb they should be on yours, too.

I learned about this week’s #blogcrush when I was out visiting another #blogcrush in San Francisco this April.  While sipping margarita’s at Tres Agaves during a Tweet-Up, I was introduced to Lauren Friedman who writes The Off-Beat Report.  Lauren was so sweet and nice, gushing “I follow you on Twitter. You’re opheliaswebb!  I’m Lauren_Hannah.”  To which I essentially had respond “Yeah, apparently I’m kind of a beotch, I don’t know if I follow you.”  Silly rabbit, I have no idea why the heck I wasn’t following her.  We spent the night laughing and bonding and programming our cell phone numbers into each others phones like any good crush-worthy person would.  Within a week of returning from my trip she posted “Apparently, I’m a Control Freak.”  And I knew I was hooked.

Lauren really strikes me as one of the best modern day “renaissance women.”  Aside from writing about topics from happiness to social media to sex, she also finds time to update two other sites AND kick ass for far too many hours a week as a Community Genius.  No, seriously, that’s her job at an awesome social marketing company in SF called Context Optional (if you watch the scrolling pics at the bottom you’ll catch a glimpse of Ms. Lauren and her great co-workers – doesn’t that look like a fun place to work?!)  A woman after my own heart who “wear[s] the highest heels, fall[s] in love really fast and [is] a workaholic. [She goes] to extremes.”  Additionally her About page reveals that she “[is] impatient, worr[ies] too much, wear[s] her heart on her sleeve, question[s] everything and dip[s] her toes in too many puddles for her feet to stay grounded.”  Her constantly updating photo album is a great glimpse into the days and nights of a working girl in San Francisco.

Speaking of getting a glimpse into the life of someone, I’ve recently become near obsessed with Lauren’s Lifecast, a constantly updating site of snippets of her life in multi-media form.  Sort of like a scrapbook meets a Moleskine meets Twitter meets SO MUCH AWESOMENESS I WANT ONE NOW!!  It’s like I finally understand the point of a Tumblr account.  I know, it’s getting overwhelming with all the amazingness this girl puts out BUT I’M STILL NOT FINISHED.

Even if she didn’t have any of this other stuff her posts could easily stand on her own.  Aside from the fact that she has written one of the most useful reviews of Eat, Pray, Love that I’ve found online (I swear ladies, I keep trying to like that book and finish it!) she also has put out some of the most poignant, best friendship, young professional single girl content in my blogosphere.

So if you are looking for a sometimes hilarious/sometimes provacative/sometimes techies/always awesome blog to get photos, videos, blog posts and much more, make sure to add The Off Beat Report to your feeds.

You know who they are, those bloggers that you’ve never even met but you feel a strange connection…you almost have a little crush on them? These are most definitely folks on my blog roll, and if you are reading and subscribing to The Webb they should be on yours, too.

I first learned about this week’s #BlogCrush when a former #BlogCrush wrote about his magnetism and gushed in a totally manly bromance post.  Soon enough I noticed that a lot of my fellow bloggers were re-Tweeting his stuff and conversing regularly with him. I’m not sure if it’s just the amazing posts he puts out over at Exile Lifestyle or his jet-setting location independent minimalist lifestyle or the fact that he’s a very genuine and successful multidisciplinary graphic designer in the social media world (an anomaly, I assure you) but Colin Wright is definitely a great person to be connected with.

Now I know a few of you just read that description and want to immediately click off this page, thinking “Great, another LIP (Location Independent Professional) who drones on about the lifestyle and is gonna tell me I suck cause I’m not doing it.”  Not gonna lie, I was hesitant to follow him because of this stigma.  But the thing I learned quickly about Colin was that he is NOTHING like this stereotype.  Sure, he is going to gush about the amazing places he visits and encourage everyone to at least consider traveling to enhance their lives.  And yes, he takes photos of everything he owns to remind people of the effectiveness and liberation of minimalist living.  One of the biggest differences is that Colin seems to thrive not only on philosophizing his ideas out, but he also begs to know what you think/do/are in return.  He’s one of the most accessible people I’ve encountered online (and I’ve encountered a lot!)

The thing with Colin is that he could get by just with his insights on topics like those, but he really has amazing stuff to say ABOUT SO MANY OTHER THINGS.  Heck, when I started creating Delicious bookmarks for Google Reader articles I wanted to keep (yes, I know I can share them, but I like Delicious better) I quickly realized that his posts were regularly finding their way into my tags.   Whether he is writing about the challenges of running a creative business or personal renaissances his posts rarely miss the mark.

And if you haven’t downloaded his “How To Be Remarkable” E-Book yet, then I highly suggest you go post-haste and do that.  Don’t worry…I’ll wait…it’s that good.

So if you are looking to join the adventure of a location independent entrepreneur who isn’t going to preach at you and has SO much more to talk about than just travel and running a business then head on over to Exile Lifestyle.

Every week I’ll be updating The Webb with a little ditty about my most recent blogcrush – a blog that I follow frequently and find inspiration, laughter and deep thoughts from. You know who they are, those bloggers that you’ve never even met but you feel a strange connection…you almost have a little crush on them? These are most definitely folks on my blog roll, and if you are reading and subscribing to The Webb they should be on yours, too.

I learned about this week’s #blogcrush when a post of hers was featured on the front page of Brazen Careerist last April.  The post, All My Friends Are Getting Married,  And I’m Just Getting Drunk, seriously made me LOL at my computer.  And not enough moves me to actually do thing in computer speak outside the screen, let alone type it.  But Jen Kucsak’s blog “The Dating Jungle” has always provided me at least a chuckle if not a full on laugh-out-loud giggle that makes people look at me like I’m a crazy person.

Jen is sorta like a Carrie Bradshaw-esque writer, bringing the shenanigans of her own life alive for the world to enjoy.  I gotta say, that’s one of the most endearing and entirely amusing things about her blog.  Reading through some of the stories, you feel like you are watching your favorite girl-powered comedy unfolding.  Laid off from her job as an associate producer at a pretty prestigious daytime talk show, Jen picked up and hauled on out to LALa-land (as my friend the musician who lives out there calls it) to pursue a career as a writer/executive producer/world-famous-star of what I’m sure will be a hilarious movie or sitcom based in part on her life*.  In the meantime, if I’m reading things correctly, she might be the Broom in the upcoming The Sorcerer’s Apprentice?!

I love the stride Jen seems to take her life in.  She has some of the strangest stuff happen to her (seriously, she has an entire tagged category called “Weird Shit That Only Happens To Me“) but her good nature and sense of humor overcome even the least funny of situations.  For a site originally intended to tell stories of her dating adventures, it has grown into so much more.  Anything that involves her well meaning Jewish New York City mother are pretty hilarious as well.  Regardless, I devour her new posts in my Reader, they are amazing!

So if you are looking for a hilarious blog about a “starving” screenwriter/actress/producer/hilarious New York City refugee and Hollywood trendsetter on a site where life & love are anything but ordinary, check out The Dating Jungle.

* Jen – When you write about this in your movie, could you please find some super hot actress to play my character?  I’m thinking Salma Hayek, even though I am the furthest from a gorgeous Latin woman that exists.  But you know, it could happen…in Maine…yeah…just find a pasty white Irish chick and we’ll call it a day.  *sigh*

These are most definitely folks on my blog roll, and if you are reading and subscribing to The Webb they should be on yours, too.

I apologize to my blog readership for not introducing you to this #BlogCrush sooner.  Everyone Tweeted and linked and TOLD me I should be following her, but for some reason I only occasionally dropped in to scan over the posts (hey, what can I say…I have over 300 blogs in my reader, always looking for the next crush.)  And in truth, it wasn’t until I got a Google Alert about this post about MindCrushes (I have an alert set up on BlogCrush and the pingbacks set Google off!) that made me check out Sydney Owen’s blog, Unfiltered.

Sydney is one of the most relatable bloggers I’ve encountered online.  She tells stories in a way that make you feel like you are sitting across the table from her at the coffee shop while she regales you with her latest tale of dating horror.  This is especially evidenced by the odd phenomenon I’ve seen on her blog of “hate commenters” that continue reading her blog and leave negative comments.  Most anyone would tell these people to pound sand and leave them alone (or at least ask “Why do you keep reading then?!)  People seem to have an especially hard time aligning the fact that Sydney is an extremely accomplished young woman living on her own in Chicago and adjusting to post-graduate life with the idea that she is still a young 20-something living her life and figuring it out.  Amazingly, with all this she STILL dares to share herself in a completely “unfiltered” format with the world.  THAT is a strong woman.

Of course anyone frequenting my own blog knows that I am a fan of anyone willing to share an adorably dorky nature with the world, and I have definitely found a kindred spirit in Sydney.  Whether she is writing about former relationships or phantom iPhone vibrations she injects a humourous dose of analogy into business and life lessons.  Her current “Unfiltered” blog posts are my favorite part of her blog, but any of her former insights about business, social media and Gen-Y workers are also gems.  Plus she has moose pajamas…and this girl from Maine has to appreciate ANYONE with moose pajamas!

So if you are looking for a great blog about a young woman living on her own in “the big city” and defining her life on terms she wants (and sometimes learning to roll with the punches of it) while also throwing in some pretty savvy insight into PR/marketing/biz then check out Unfiltered.

These are most definitely folks on my blog roll, and if you are reading and subscribing to The Webb they should be on yours, too.

I first learned about this week’s #BlogCrush when I asked a few Twitter friends for some women to follow in my Reader.  A former #BlogCrush gave me a few suggestions, including Susan Pogorzelski (who blogs and Tweets under 20(or)something.)  And then I started following Susan on Twitter.  And subscribing to her blog.  And emailing with her.  And Skyping with her.  And Susan became one of the greatest friends I’ve made online.

Which is why I’ve had this draft sitting in my queue for over a month.  I’ve always been very careful to be as objective as possible, writing about most #BlogCrushes before I’ve really become friends with them.  But that’s one of the most appealing things about Susan, both as a person and in her blog.  She’s just such an amazing person that I’m gonna throw all my #BlogCrush and blogging rules aside and write up a little ditty about her blog, 20(or)something.

Susan is a blogger that you don’t run across on a regular basis.  Rather than only writing about the buzzword topics of social media and career paths she also writes about the things that most impact the life of a 20-something.  She writes about love and perspective and home and dreams.  While most people are writing their posts with brand and judgment in mind, Susan just lays herself out there.  You feel like she is giving you the opportunity to glimpse in to see the real her, something you frequently have to wonder about online.  Plus, she loves Neil Patrick Harris as much as me, which is just amazing (Doogie, why did you have to instill in me a love for gay men?!)

She writes from a place of experience in trying new things.  Of never giving up or settling, but instead seeing realities and adjusting her plans.  Whether it is traveling across the world to live in France or returning to her full-time job upon realizing that freelancing is not going to work for her (right now) she is constantly growing and discovering herself in a raw and candid manner for the world to see.  Perhaps my favorite part of her whole blog is when she has hard and in depth conversations with the Universe (yep, you read that right) which are somehow humorous and poignant all rolled up in one.

So if you are looking for a great blog about the struggles and questions of a 20-something person trying to navigate their place in life while attempting to bribe the Universe with Tootsie Rolls, then check out 20(or)something.

It was bound to happen.  And today it will.  The #BlogCrush is becoming 2-dimensional.  Coming FROM Portland, ME it’s all about a blogger over in Portland, OR.  It’s like we are defying the laws of physics or something!  I first learned about Sean Ogle’s blog, Location 180, thru a former #BlogCrush’s bi-monthly Top 10 Gen Y Blogs.  See Sean came out of no where (to me) in the August ballot and rightfully claimed a tie for the #1 position in October.  One of the things I LOVE about Sean is that even though he almost managed to unseat the perennial Top 10 winner, he barely mentioned the win.*  Instead just how honored he was to make the list.

Sean is part of a growing subset of bloggers writing about location independence and lifestyle design.  There are tons of other blogs out there writing the same thing, so what makes Sean’s so special?  Well, in addition to his ideas on the two topics, Sean created his own list.  Not just a simple 7 Things To Do Before I’m 30 list, but a massive 100 bullet point bucket list of sorts that focuses intensively on travel and happiness in his life.   In fact he admits that the site was originally a method for him to hold himself accountable to the accomplishment of his ever-evolving list.  Fortunately for us we get to come along for the ride.

Sean’s bucket list and stories about it are reason enough to follow Location 180, but amazingly there’s even more.  While doing things like seeing Dave Matthews at the Gorges and visiting one of the most beautiful waterfalls on Earth should be enough to inflate an ego to spew nothing but awesomeness at his accomplishments, Sean is actually very realistic about his goals.  And he devotes a lot of his writing to a little about him but also encouraging and challenging his readers to pursue their dreams.  In terms of modest blogging, Sean is one of the classiest acts I’ve found.

If you are looking for some great insight into lifestyle design from someone with a passion for travel and dreams through the stratosphere but still grounded to Earth, then I suggest you check out Location 180.

* In the interest of full disclosure he DID mention Ophelia’s Webb in the comments as one of the blogs he follows. However Sean becoming a #BlogCrush was mulling around in my mind long before the October results came out.

I first learned about this week’s #BlogCrush when he commented on my post asking if we as a society have gotten too nice.  Not sure if he found his way over to the Webb from Brazen Careerist or a former #BlogCrush, but boy am I glad that he did.  Rich DeMatteo is a great HR/staffing blogger who has a website with a super fun name, Corn On The Job.  He is probably one of the most engaged people I’ve encountered on my Twitter feed as well, and we just “met up” less than a month ago.

The first thing you’ll notice when you get on to Rich’s blog is the awesome redesign by Matt Cheuvront.  I’m a girl who loves a clean, structured and still fun blog, so I was happy to see the new Corn on the Job when it came out a couple weeks ago.  Rich’s Twitter bio states that he is  “here to help you relax, smile, laugh, and possibly secure your next big job. Won’t you be my neighbor?”  And that’s exactly what Rich does, when he’s not finishing up grad school and coaching his collegiate roller hockey team.  Though I know he did not coin the term, he was one of the first to really make me aware of the phenomenon known as “FUNemployment” and what to do during it.  Of course I’m always a fan of anyone with some great goals and dreams for the future, especially when they involve both professional AND personal.

Corn On The Job is a great place to check in to for up to the minute realistic advice on your career and any job seeking.  With Rich’s expertise and experience, he’s seen just about every angle of the hiring process (from unemploment to interviews to social media job seeking to career paths to layoffs.)  Plus his background and degreework in Human Resources allow him the skills to cover some harder “conversation” topics like body odor and the kissyface email paradox, but in a very funny way.  He makes things accessible by giving them real life application and his ideas for how to network if you are shy are fantastic.  Though he’s only been blogging for less than half a year he is already building a loyal following of Corn Heads who turn to him for advice in helping them plan their professional future.  In other words by this time next year Corn On The Job will be one of those sites that you can say you knew when.

So if you are looking for a great site to turn to for some good career and HR advice with a lot of humor and realism thrown in, check out Corn On The Job.

Every week I’ll be updating The Webb with a little ditty about my most recent blogcrush – a blog that I follow frequently and find inspiration, laughter and deep thoughts from. You know who they are, those bloggers that you’ve never even met but you feel a strange connection…you almost have a little crush on them? These are most definitely folks on my blog roll, and if you are reading and subscribing to The Webb they should be on yours, too.

The reason for this week’s BlogCrush is simple…she’s a babe.

Well, more appropriately Raven Moore is a Writerbabe.  Raven is another blogger that I can’t quite remember how I found.  I feel like she was a recommendation, maybe she was a featured post on Brazen.  I know that her post on The Writerbabe Series about “wife material” was definitely the thing that fully drew me in to her site.  Then when we traded a few direct messages and she stated her love for Maine and that she went to college here, I knew I was going to like her even more.

Raven is one of the most creative people I’ve encountered in the blogosphere.  Like my first ever #BlogCrush she is brilliant in many mediums, from writing to books to photography to art.  Her 9-5, in fact, is an amazing arts project used to increase human rights awareness in the mainstream through arts and design.  She also essentially created the trademark “WriterBabe” after finding inspiration in Ani DiFrannco’s Righteous Babe records. One of my favorite things about Raven, however, is the fact that she is sometimes a little quirky, cranky and/or happy.  She isn’t afraid to let her readers see any of those sides, either.

On The Writerbabe Series, she kinda says what she thinks and provokes great thought through some deep realistic opinions.  I’m especially a fan of the way she isn’t afraid to call out some of the absurdities of social media and blogging.  Good news, however, is that while Raven’s writing is going to force you to stretch those brain cells, there is plenty of fun mixed in as well.  And she is accessible, whether writing about the importance of video games in a relationship, her birthday or the annoyance of urban transplants.  Plus, we all know I’ve gotta like a girl who admits that she has issues being friends with girls (even if it IS kinda because of her.)

So if you are looking fora  blog “for the professionally curious” that has no niche but instead creativity, opinion, deep thoughts and lots of fun, check out The Writerbabe Series.

These are most definitely folks on my blog roll, and if you are reading and subscribing to The Webb they should be on yours, too.

I first learned about this week’s #BlogCrush when he guest posted on a former #BlogCrush’s blog and it was featured on Brazen Careerist.  Sam Davidson lives the life most of us dream as a Co-Founder of a kick-ass non-profit organization, Cool People Care.  However as much as I adore Sam’s company and vision for our generation, it is his personal blog that I have in the Favorites folder of my Reader.  He writes about everything from running a half-marathon to how nonprofits can use social media.

In Sam’s own words from his About page, “I’m a speaker, writer and dreamer who tells stories that need telling in order to motivate others to change the things that need changing.”  Sure, you can throw a pebble anywhere into the ocean of Generation Y and find someone who says they are passionate about change.  However in most everything I have read from Sam, it is obvious that he doesn’t just give his passion lip service.  Plus, his recent post on picturing a dinner with his own daughter after witnessing the scene in a restaurant, is probably one of the most poignant things written on the world wide web.

The great thing about this blog is that in addition to this passion and personal insight, he really IS a mecca for aspiring entrepreneurs and social media folks.  Sam is so very realistic about what start-up life is like, the sacrifices you make, and the things you can learn about business from running a half-marathon.  His take on social media is also the path that should be followed by most entrepreneurs/businesses/branders/etc.  It’s novel, it’s crazy, it’s about community.  Sam’s passion in social media is for helping nonprofits raise money.  The lessons transcend topic though.

If you are looking for someone who is pretty Cool and actually Cares to help you navigate this crazy world of social media and branding, while occasionally throwing in some great personal insight about playing Wii and impending parenthood, then you should check out Sam Davidson’s blog.

PS – I would be remiss to not also direct you one last time to his company’s site, Cool People Care.  I absolutely adore them…maybe I just want to be a cool people and maybe you should be one, too.
