If you consider yourself an Influential, then you’re reading the right column. And if you’re reading this column at all, then you must be digital, so welcome to the Digital Influential!A little over a year ago I started writing this column because people were always asking me what I thought was cool, which is quite ironic when you get to know me and realize that I’m pretty much not cool. I wanted to make it easier to share with my online compatriots what I found to be of interest and see if I could spark the fire of virality to help some of these up-and-coming companies succeed. After a year I can say that in some cases I helped and in some cases I didn’t, but along the way I came to realize that it’s not the outcome or the destination that counts, but more the excitement of the journey itself. I’ve used this column as a motivator to stay on top of the new and innovative, and I’ve found it to be enjoyable in and of itself. I find that I truly appreciate surfing some of my usual suspects to see what modish new sites are driving the zeitgeist. Hopefully when you read this column you become inspired to do the same, and if you do, please send me a note and let me in on the secret so we can share it with the rest of the readers and discover the new together!
Anyways, now that I’m a proud papa I find myself visiting a whole new plethora of sites that will help me to be a great dad, which is how I found GREAT DAD (http://www.greatdad.com/). The site is written to help dads figure out how to be, well, great! I discovered that there are loads of sites aimed at moms, but not as many for dads, so when I come across one I feel I have to share.

We always love making it on another list of sites that are “driving the zeitgeist,” especially by a real dad. Thanks Cory!

I’m a Christian dad and parent. I agree with Cory that there are not many sites on parenting from a daddy’s point of view or dedicated for the dads. Thanks for the great stories and articles found on your site.
