Debut of my Social Media Top 10

17 Aug

Posted by: Bryan in: Social Media Top 10

Today, I’m debuting a new list called the Social Media Top 10 — one man’s admittedly very subjective snapshot of the most interesting goings-on in social media.

Each week I’ll list the top 10 names, websites, memes, events, etc. from the world of social media that are capturing my attention.

I don’t expect my top 10 will necessarily be anywhere close to yours, but isn’t that part of the fun? Why not create your own Social Media Top 10 list — who and what have you been watching in the social media space during the past week?

Leave your list in the comments section or post it on your own blog. If you do the latter, please use the SMT10 Technorati tag, so that the posts will be easy to track and compile by everyone.

I agree with Neville Hobson: full feeds are the no-brainer choice.

And if you can help me turn the Social Media Top 10 into a widget, drop me a line. 2007 is The Year of the Widget, after all, so it’s time I jump on board.

Look for my second installment of the Social Media Top 10 next Friday.

Wow! I am #4 on your list. Thanks!

I described my progress to my wife like this:

“I’ve found the three corners of the puzzle, and there are lots of sections mostly in place. Now, all I have to do is fill in the rest, and the picture will be finished.”

Back to the puzzle……..

I like the notion of (my)Social Media Top Ten lists.

Will drop you a line, later today, with illustrative example of your list in a Grazr widget.

Thanks.

@Michael: Good luck!

@Critt: Ah ha! I knew there had to be a Grazr application of this. Looking forward to hearing from you on that.

Thanks for including Voxci in your inaugural list. We’ll try to live up to your kind words.

One clarification: Although my ego would love to take all the credit, I must point out that Voxci is the creation of both myself, and my co-founder Michael Clark.

We have both made passionate contributions to the concept. On a day-to-day basis, I am more the Product Development guy, and Michael is the Sales & Marketing guy.

I don’t think either of us would have come up with this without the other.
