Top 100 Social Media Sites: Guess who’s #1?

I’m not into bragging, but thanks to VirtualHosting for naming this blog the #1 Social Media/Web 2.0 blog in all the land. Here’s their Top 100 list. There are a few on here I hadn’t heard of and will be checking out (I often leave the marketing/PR social media angle to others).

Tom Pick runs it down:

The VirtualHosting blog just announced their list of the Top 100 Social Media and Social Networking Blogs.

The list includes both obvious choices such as JD Lasica’s Social Media, Social Media Club, Mashable, The Web 2.0 Weblog, TechCrunch, BL Ochman’s What’s Next Blog, and Paul Gillin’s Social Media and the Open Enterprise blog, as well as interesting entries like Alexander Muse’s Texas Startup Blog, The Buzz Bin, PR Blogger, Todd And Marketing, and of course WebMarketCentral (I’m honored!).

It’s missing a few blogs I would have included—Shawn Hessinger’s BootStrapMe, Paul Dunay’s Buzz Marketing for Technology, eMarketing Strategist from Elge Premeau, the Integrated Marcom Minute BlogPR Meets Marketing by Cece Salomon-Lee to name a few—but leaving out a few high-quality sites is inevitable in compiling a listing like this.

Overall, it’s a great list and enough to keep anyone interested in social media and social networking busy for quite awhile.

I’d also add SocialMedia.com, where they’re doing some fascinating social media marketing work with Facebook applications. And Shel Israel’s Global Neighbourhoods blog.
