I would also recommend @SCOREmentors and @SmallBizLady.
Also follow me for information on how a very large company looks to incorporate small businesses into their contracting … @benniekovach
I’m echoing your mentions of SBAgov and OPENforum as worthwhile resources to follow. Not only do they give a corporate look at small business and some useful information, but their topics are a goldmine of inspiration for business blogging. And which one of us [small biz owners] doesn’t need to be on the ball with our online presence.
