A Plethora of PR and Marketing Blogs to Choose from
Apparently there aren’t enough lists of PR blogs out there.
The Friendly Ghost PowerPR List uses a similar methodology to the Ad Age Power 150, but replaces the questionable BlogLines subscriptions metric with some Technorati measures.
You could do a lot worse than spend an afternoon burning through some of the blogs on the list, if you’re looking for good writing about public relations and related issues.
A few of the bloggers are less active this year than last, but it’s a good list.
Also try the PR Powerwomen list, with additions here and here. The large number of male PR and marketing bloggers out there doesn’t mean there aren’t some excellent female voices to be found.
And in other blog list news, Sean Moffitt is resurrecting his 1% Army Canadian Blog List, and is organizing a tournament of Canuck bloggers.
And don’t forget Spin Thicket, where you can find a Fark-like listing of current blog posts and website items about PR, marketing, the media and politics.

I would say that Technorati is also suspect, maybe no people work there as I never had a response to open tickets ;-) Thank you for the shout, Eric.

[…] We mentioned a few days ago that the Ad Age Power 150 may have a flaw in it. Well the Friendly Ghost just dished out his August PR index late yesterday afternoon. Guess what? No questionable bloglines stats, making the index a pure “What have you done for me lately measurement?” I like it. So do Kyle Flaherty and Eric Eggertson. […]

Less content generation from leading PR bloggers right now gives newer blogs the opportunity to differentiate themselves and seize leadership. You, E (sorry, the Philadelphia in me)! Keep up the hot blogging.

That was meant to be Yo, not “You.” Sigh.

Valeria: Good point about Technorati’s flakiness. Where is the PubSub PR measurement tool when you need it?
Geoff: You, G, thanks for the compliment. ;-)

If folks are finding new blogs this way, wonderful.
But we seem to concentrate on these things too much. Reminds me of the Nobodies and Z-List created in response to previous rankings. Which is to say it all evolves into more of a popularity contest at times.

I’m still a Nobody, in every sense of the word.
I even adapted IAN for my generic commenter icons, which, strangely enough, nobody seems to use.

Kevin:
I used to scan people’s blogrolls, looking for interesting blogs to check out. Then I noticed that many blogs listed that are no longer active, which reduced my faith in blogrolls as an up-to-date reflection of someone’s reading habits.
I don’t put a lot of faith in the lists, but I’m often surprised to find a really good writer, who, for some reason, I haven’t discovered, or am glad to rediscover.
