Here’s to some new names at the top soon.
Good to see the likes of Danny Brown gaining well, he’s one of the most consistent bloggers out there today.
Expect to see Spin Sucks and The Flack higher next time too.
I like these kinds of upward trends :-).
On the serious side, I love that you are paying attention to influencer patterns in the marketing community and sharing them on a periodic basis. As Ben Johnston says, it’s good to see new names including the likes of Danny Brown.
Merci!
Best,
CB
Thanks a lot, guys! Appreciated.
Great list.
How are the rankings calculated?
Hi Julie, here is an answer to your question : http://blog.ecairn.com/2008/11/11/answering-your-questions-on-top-150-social-marketing-blogs/
We’re adding some twitter elements into this and will tweak our algorithm shortly. We’ve built and published many lists so far and our algorithm seems pretty solid cross vertical.
Best
Very interesting stuff. Do social bookmarking sites like Digg and Reddit.com count as social media?
Hi Steven.
We focus on communities so did not include Digg or Reddit as a member of the community.
Best
You forgot me! 😉
Thank you for the list!
Hello eCairn team! This is a great resource for following bloggers who I know are working hard to provide solid content. Folks like Gini Dietrich and her team (Spin Sucks) and Arik Hanson and Shannon Paul. Hope to see some of these blogs closer to the top in the future.

@bethharte
Does it have to be english blogs ?
@ greg, this is the top 150 from the English speaking Social Media Marketers. It’s ranked based on cross references and usually English speaking blog do not reference non English speaking authors.
Why haven’t you included Mitch Joel’s blog? http://www.twistimage.com/blog/
Is this a genuine mistake or a deliberate omission? Seriously, how are the rankings calculated?
Wait, where is Mashable ? 🙂
As much as i’d like to appreciate your efforts, i’d have to conclude your rankings are fundamentally flawed. Sorry!
@Nibras, Sylvain, Mitch Joel is in our list (we’ve over 2000 blogs from the social media community discovered by our app) but he’s not in the top150.
This may come from his url (if you try http://twistimage.com, you’ll understand). We will doublecheck.
As for Mashable, it is not in as we considered it more as a mainstream media.
Thanks for the comments
@ Nibras, Mitch Joel should be #19. We’ll correct the list. He hides himself too well with his url: /twistimage/blog whereas people refer to him differently.
My Blog is called, Six Pixels of Separation, and it is housed at http://www.twistimage.com/blog.
Please let me know when this is corrected and thanks for adding me 🙂
@ Mitch. It is corrected. Sorry for the inconvenience. It actually came from the two different urls. I’m sending you your “social footprint in the social media community”,it’s impressive.
Thanks for fixing it 🙂
Great list, thank’s.
But really, not finding Mitch Joel on it is a bit of a surprise.
Just sayin’
SM
Is this just a link of US bloggers as I think you have missed lots of people off who have rankings that are greater than those listed – for example http://www.euansemple.com and http://www.bizgrowthnews.com both based in Europe.
Thank you for the mention. I’m with many people I respect and look up to in this crazy fun industry. Nice to see some other Canadians on there as well.
Interesting article. Very useful for me. Thank’s.
Thanks for sharing! Have you guys considered blog bling/a badge?
Jon
It will come in the future.
What a valuable list of resources all in one place! Thank you for sharing as I will never again say I don’t have anything to read or I’m out of resources as we launch our new lines. So many blogs I hadn’t heard about. Just a huge resource and a huge thanks!
These blogs provide me with valuable insight as B. Square Clothing tries to stay at the fore-front for our fans.
