Sometimes, we all just need a little inspiration to find a new hot topic to cover in the next blog posts.

Here are a few places I look to for ideas and inspiration.

Google trends [google.com...]

Google News [news.google.com...]

Bing News [bing.com...]

I'll then run a few of the hot topics of interest through twitter search, too, and that helps cement my selections.

I'll then take a few of those topics for the basis of the next batch of blog posts.

How do you get your inspiration?
