Two years ago, the very first article was published here on Six Minutes.
Since then, we’ve added 172 more, all of which are available free in the article archives.
Today, we celebrate the best articles of Six Minutes as determined by you, the reader. We list reader favorites in the major Six Minutes categories, from speechwriting to speech critiques, from visual aids to speaker resources.
It has been a pleasure sharing these articles with you. Thank you for your readership, and thank you for all of your emails with great suggestions and feedback.

Earlier, we published book testimonials from individual Six Minutes readers.
In this article, we list the most popular public speaking books and gear being read by the Six Minutes community — people just like you with an avid interest in speaking effectively.

Looking for the perfect gift for the public speaker in your life?
Looking for something to add to your own personal wishlist?
Here’s a great list of ideas inspired by emails telling me the gifts that public speakers really want.
Stocking stuffers, moderate, deluxe, and priceless gifts — a comprehensive list with dozens of public speaking gift ideas for you or the public speaker in your life.
Last week, we asked readers to recommend their favorite books in public speaking, presentation skills, or related fields.
Thank you! Six Minutes readers answered the call with 16 book recommendations. Some books have been reviewed on Six Minutes. Some are on my wish list. And some were brand new to me.
How about you? Which of these appeal to you? Have a comment to share?
Whenever my friends and family ask me what I want for Christmas or birthday gifts, I always start with my book wishlist.
As I work on this year’s list, you might guess that many public speaking and presentation skills books are included. You are right!
I’m going to post my my personal public speaking gift wishlist and recommendations in an article next week, but I’d like your help too. And, I’m going to reward a Six Minutes reader with a great public speaking book.
I’m pleased to announce that a new resource for speakers has been created at speaking.alltop.com.
Guy Kawasaki and the team at Alltop enthusiastically took my suggestion and delivered a great resource. It lists the five most recent articles published by a subset of public speaking blogs listed in the Public Speaking Blogosphere.
The public speaking blogosphere: a large and varied space with fuzzy edges spanning many disciplines. There are public speaking blogs which focus on speech delivery, visual presentation design, speechwriting, humor, personal development, and interpersonal communication. Now, you can subscribe to all of them in seconds. (Find out how at the end of this post.)
