Congratulations to a fellow communicator for a job well done. Todd And(rlik) created a fairly objective index to measure PR and Marketing blogs according to popularity, reach, influence, and the ‘it’ factor. The Power 150 was good enough that he’s letting it leave his little nest, and fly to a loftier perch at Ad Age. (Note: I was never even close to getting those Legos on this site. Not even Duplo blocks.)
It just underscores the notion that we live in a flatter environment. One good idea can percolate from the bottom and gain momentum, and provide a valuable service to the whole community. Already it has inspired knockoffs like the Dirt 100, a ranking of the top celebrity gossip sites.
With that in mind, I propose the Mighty Mite 50: an online ranking of the 50 best Communications blogs that nobody is reading.
We’ll let the community nominate great blogs that meet certain low thresholds. We’ll post the lists, and let the community “rank” them… and after they get enough traffic to fly, we’ll graduate them to the Hall of Fame.
Todd? Scott? Michael? Anyone with a bit of advice on how to automate this?
