Every serious blogger’s got to make at least one resource list post, right?

As of May 17 2008, this list includes 225 blogs that I know or believe to be either:

  1. devoted to discussions about social media
  2. feature social media prominently within some of their posts
  3. active in 2008

(Undoubtedly you’ll get some great ideas on how to get visitors to your blog by reading these.)

I found a number of these blogs through a Google Blog search on titles looking for the term “social media”. I added in a number of additional blogs that I knew of or discovered along the way.

This is not meant to be a complete list! I expect it to evolve and grow over time. I would love to hear about other blogs that I’ve missed so I can add them to the list. Similarly, if you feel that I’ve included blogs that should not be on the list, feel free to say so!

Note: I haven’t included a lot of blogs which might qualify, but I couldn’t easily tell for sure. For example, I didn’t include a lot of blogs that identified themselves primarily as SEO (Search Engine Optimization) blogs. They’re great blogs, but I wasn’t sure if they truly fit on this list or not. I’m willing to take on recommendations, though!

Without further ado, the original 118 225 social media blogs:
