Our Overall Recommendation: www.InTheAmazon.com
This blog includes a twitter feed with lots of curated content, blog posts, interviews, product/platform reviews and articles from experts including many of those listed below (and even ourselves!) The blog also includes an opportunity to “Ask the Masked Amazonian” where readers can submit questions that will be answered by a very senior, yet anonymous, Amazon employee who will answer to the best of his/her knowledge without getting official Amazon approvals.
