Ever wondered what some successful bloggers bookmark, what do they read, what makes them tick, where do they look for information.

I’m doing a little ongoing survey where I email successful bloggers whenever I come by their blog and ask them to email me back with a list of their Top 3 or 5 bookmarks. Most of the them very really nice for the first time batch that I have compiled so far.

Just so you know I will keep on doing this for as long as people reply back to me. If you are an up and coming blogger who is hitting the big time then send me your info and I’ll send you back some link love.

List your Top 3 - 5 bookmarked sites/blogs that you visit often. No social bookmarking (digg, del.icio.us etc…) or mainstream news sites (cnn, msnbc etc…).
