Do you want access to Gartner or Forrester insight but don't have a subscription?

Do you want to evaluate other sources, or just see what others are saying?

Analyst blogs offer comment by some of the industry's leading analysts, informally (so without the stamp of authority of published research) but responding rapidly to industry events. InformationSpan provides a structured index to the the blog offerings from Gartner and Forrester, the two premier global insight services providers. As of September 2009, podcasts are included too; and from June 2010 the index includes former AMR and Burton analysts who are now part of the Gartner Blog Network.

InformationSpan thinks that, for various reasons, these directories are more coherent and more serviceable to the user community than the indexes offered on the providers' own websites. And there are links to some other provider blogs that we think are worth checking.

For a more complete index to analyst blogs, visit Tekrati's Blogs Directory which lists blogs by provider. This comprehensive list includes analysts' independent blogs which are outside their providers' frameworks.
