I’ve really only discovered the value of Duct Tape Marketing late last year but every time a new article hits my inbox, I find great content. It offers simple, effective and affordable small business marketing tips, tactics and tools from marketing consultant and author John Jantsch.

Mashable has a massive following with a following on Twitter of 2.6+ million and listed on some 88k+ Lists! This is an indication of the quality of content being produced.
