Thank you for this list. Actually, it might come in handy, but for now, I'm following the advice you shared that I learned, after I downloaded your free but very useful authoritative black book

Thanks for compiling this amazing list. You know, we take all of these generous people for granted but when you see the list, the smarts are staggering!
Thanks for including The Marketing Minute but even bigger thanks for including Age of Conversation. We're knee deep in the editing process of Age of Conversation '08!
Again -- kudos to you for creating such a remarkable resource.

Thanks for including me in the list. Some of my favorite blogs are also in the list.

Thanks for this plug. We will probably take your list and try to make up a ranking of the blogs you listed above so to see who has the biggest footprint, 'influence' etc.

Thanks for putting this list together. I am glad we are on it :-) and surprised at the same time how we made it since we are soooo young (exist since Jan 08).
Lists always get traffic because they save time. I'll be checking these sites out to learn more about social marketing.

Thanks for the mention. One thought: Lots of people are using the term "social marketing", but that's a term that's been in use for decades. It means applying marketing principles to address social issues.
What I think all of us on the list do is social media marketing. It's longer to say, and a bit clunky, but we can't use a term that's so well established.

Jim Tobin at Ignite Social Media's last blog post..Google Knol Review - Has Wikipedia seen its last day?
I noticed in the beginning that social marketing was really big in the engines for sites that deal with social issues. I thought then about staying away from that established use of the term and started mixing in "media" a lot.
But today there are two definitions or uses of the term that are established and it seems Google is doing ok semantically understanding what you're after.
It's harder to break the top 10 for any keyword phrase that has multiple popular meanings, so you're right about carving out newer phrases and owning them too, such as social media marketing. Which more accurately describes what we all do.
Well now that screws up the whole "142" thing! I either have to keep you listed twice or find another blog for one of your spots! Maybe you're so good you need to be listed twice!

Some good references here for my next book.

Don's last blog post..Be Careful Who You Mess With
Yes Michelle should be on the list. I'm sure a lot more people should be.
Here's Michelle MacPhearson's blog: http://www.michellemacphearson.com/
Ingenious tactic with the list! I have seen several other people following suit and am thinking of doing the same for our website niche.
I just had a question about whether you did a trackback on all 142 websites when you posted it into Wordpress or if not, how were the people on the list notified that this list existed and that they were on it?
My list is up to about 82 and I now have an enormous respect for whomever did the entire 142 on your list as this is a lot of work if you go through and verify each site and really do it right!

Tim Stark's last blog post..Review of the Artist Point Restaurant - Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Good webmasters/bloggers will know when someone links to them. 1) they'll have the correct blogging platform that notifies them when someone links to them, 2) they will check their stats compulsively to see who is sending them traffic and check it out.
When someone puts together a random list just for the list's sake, they won't get participation and thanks. When you put together a list of well-thought-out selections of people who should know when they've been included in something like this and appreciate it, they'll come back in droves to say thanks.
So an ordinary list of sites doesn't cut it. You have to really think about who you include strategically. "The Best" is completely subjective. Are these 142 THE BEST? There's no way to tell definitively. You can't just look at the numbers and say "whomever is the best in the engines or has the most links or comments" is the determining factor.
The best are the people who will get into it with you after you've made the list. The best have to have good content, decent rankings, but they'll also have the greatest potential to draw more attention TO YOUR LIST by participating, commenting, linking back, and understanding the spirit of the list in the blogosphere.
The perfect list of "best blogs" of any kind is the list that doesn't even need a trackback to know that they've been linked. If they are paying attention to their traffic and links that closely, they are most likely excellent bloggers as well.
BTW we have been trying to touch base with you recently.
Eric Thom's last blog post..RSS Marketing: Time to review.
You're very welcome! Thanks for giving me such a great site to link to. You make me look better for doing so!
I've been slammed badly this week, but hit my contact form again in case I just lost track of some emails. It could have happened recently with the busy-ness that's been going on around here lately. I'll keep an eye out.

Why did I add this post here? Because Blogger just got way more powerful than it ever was with Friend Connect rolling out there any day.
It was up on all blogs that added the widget and then it started to throw errors and get REALLY slow and then suddenly we started seeing the Blogger "Following" interface replace it.
I am hoping that late tonite when server load goes down we will see the AJAX Friend Connect widget come back in place.
Blogger is now going to be the destination of allot of us wanting to see more from the Google Social Network: Googling Social!

Anyway, a very good list
I've been teaching corporate courses on How to Do Social Media Marketing through the University of Sydney for around 3 years now. I'm also listed as Australia's #4 Marketing and Media blogger. I've been running online communities and virtual worlds since the late 1980s. Should be enough to make it onto your list *winks* :P
