The Uncanny Evolving Social Media Blog List!
social media February 25th. 2008, 6:03amEvery 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:
- devoted to discussions about social media
- feature social media prominently within some of their posts
- 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:

Great work. Wouldn't it be nice to have a Reading List with the RSS feeds of each blog/site?

You forgot Earner’s blog, a blog which regularly discusses social media and has excellent articles.

Hey, what about me? I’m publicly taking 5 complete online “noobs” and showing them how social media marketing is the most effective, and inexpensive solution to exposure.
It’s a visible case study experiment for the poor, forgotten ones who end up so confused by everything because they aren’t shown the basic building blocks before they try to do the next steps.
I want to teach people what I had to learn the hard (money gobbling) way.
This is the pre-launch free scholarship program for the “Social Media Marketing Academy” and the “Web 2.0 Empire Blueprint” materials. I want to make sure I’m covering all the bases for people who need a bit more of the “building blocks” BEFORE they try to launch a social campaign.

May 19th, 2008 at 12:11 am
This list doesn’t really do me any good. It just looks like link bait to me, and nothing more.
How about you organize the list into categories, rank them, or provide some kind of description about them.

@Fred - RSS feeds? Well, it’s an idea…
May 22nd, 2008 at 5:27 am
RSS feeds indeed. When you build the list with Grazr (http://grazr.com) you are able to manage the list very easy and serve the actual list on your blog with a Grazr Widget.
Here is an example of a Reading List of Rss feeds from Dutch Edu Bloggers. Take a look and you’ll understand what I meant.
Let me know if you like the idea.
