If you've got a passion for technology and the web you'll love JD Roth. He peppers tech news and tweets about the latest gadgets in with his solid financial advice. JD Roth takes a conservative approach to money management which is evident with the title of his blog- Get Rich Slowly. It's a big financial toolbox that contains information relevant to just about everyone-- from beginners to steadfast money pros.

Another unique thing about @JDRoth is the length of his blog posts. Just like he doesn't believe in getting rich quick, he doesn't go through any topic quickly. He thoroughly investigates them, reporting piles of information in each post. And you don't have to worry about whether he knows what he's doing. Just a few years ago he was under a pile of $35,000 in debt and managed to work himself out of it. His blog was named Most Inspiring by Money Magazine and there's a good chance you'll find it inspiring as well.
