Whenever I think I’ve had a good idea someone alway’s beats me to it or maybe subconsciously I’d already seen Chris Brogan’s 8 Marketing Bloggers to Watch in 2009 and but my mind said no that’s only similar to your idea get on it now!
Halfway through DM’ing a few people Chris included I looked over to Twitter and saw his tweet about an OPML file and lo and behold there was the post that I was thinking about! lol
Anyway I’m still going to publish it, it’s not exactly the same and here it is ‘If you could only read one blog related to your work who’s would it be?’
I agree lists are dangerous but they are also valuable!
Here’s a preloaded OPML file (exc Firm Voice) (right click save as!) with all the nominees feeds already loaded to just upload and enjoy! I found some new feeds to watch in the New Year!
Or you can find the individual feeds detailed under each nominated site.
