Recognizing Outstanding Bloggers

I love the smell of the end of the year. There is a mixture of tension, as we all begin to focus on the final weeks of the year in an attempt to reach our targets, deliver our projects or finalize the last elements of our budgets. But there is also the beginning of relief and play … last year, about this time, Mack Collier kicked off the Z-list. This year it is Troy Worman’s turn, with the Outstanding Blogger meme.

This one is already exciting, with well over 200 blogs, many completely new to me, promising an avalanche of holiday reading. My additions to the massive list (already included) are Innovation Feeder, The Kaiser Edition, Get Shouty, Tim Longhurst and Dipping into the Blogpond.

Enjoy!

UPDATE: Troy has an updated list here.

  1. Gavin,
    Always thankful here for the blogging friendships I’ve gained by being numbered in the same tribe as you and all these other outstanding bloggers.
    Rather amazing…don’t you think?
    Keep creating…a daring adventure,
    Mike

  2. Gavin,
    Looks like a fantastic list of reading for the holidays, thanks so much for including Innovation Feeder in your additions. Am looking forward to checking out the others you have recommended!
    best
    Jen

  3. Many thanks for including me Gavin 🙂
    What’s the idea with this, are we meant to add to the list and reprint it? I can’t find the original post (it’s returning a 404 error)!

  4. Gavin – appreciate the time it took to put together a list of 244 excellent blogs & many thanks for including Diva Marketing.

  5. I appreciate your inclusion of The Lives and Times….
    Should you at some point look at adding link exchanges I hope you’ll consider making the connection more permanent.
    May the next year be more joyful than this one has been.

  6. How terrible am I that I didn’t even realize I was on this list until now! I’ve been out of town for awhile, but I should have caught this… I’m a bad blogger… but read Socially Adept anyway!
