Roger von Oech’s Top 10 Creativity Blogs

By Mark McGuinness | July 1, 2009 |

Roger von OechCreativity guru Roger von Oech recently listed his choice of 10 Blogs to Stimulate Your Creativity at Blogs.com. It’s a great list, featuring several of my favourites plus some new discoveries:

Althouse

Bad Banana

Belmont Club

Idea Sandbox

Innovation Tools

Lateral Action

Logic + Emotion

Philosophistry

Wishful Thinking

Visit the original post to read Roger’s comments on each blog.

I can’t pretend I’m not delighted to appear twice, for Lateral Action and my first blog Wishful Thinking.

But Roger has modestly declined to list his own blog, Creative Think, another essential creativity read.

    Hey Mark,

    Congratulations, it would be sinful to not have you listed there.

    Besides your two, I get a lot from Innovation Tools. Very thought provoking articles.

    Cheers,

    Conor

    Hi Mark,
    your blog is the one I follow religiously and thanks for posting these additional resources which I will review. I was “Wacked in the Side of the Head” many years ago by Roger’s books and it started me down the path of exploring creativity.

    Thanks,
    –Todd
