BusinessBlogWire is under the same KMM network as AListReview and blogger Easton Ellsworth is also my editor. This isn't a groveling, shoe-kissing review, however - and neither KMM or Easton have recommended any blogs for me to include.
Easton covers the whole range of business blogging, from job opportunities to new technology. In fact he is great at ferreting out information and news that businesses interested in blogging, or professional bloggers, can really use. His series on monitoring the blogosphere is easy enough for non-techies to understand and I'm using it as a reference for clients new to blogs.
Easton also was the founder of Blog Tipping, the international phenomenon which takes place the first day of each month (OK, that was a little gratuitous brown-nosing, but the idea is cool and we are all excited about how it is taken off).
One strange thing - for the longest time I found myself wanting to call Easton 'Brett', no idea why until I remembered Brett Easton Ellis. So if I ever call you Brett, Easton - you'll know what weird connection is occurring in my brain.
BusinessBlogWire is 6,849 on Technorati.
Thanks for the compliments, Diane. If I was the one with the pay bucket I'd drop in something extra for ya :).
I'm shocked, but of course pleased, that you like my blog so much and consider it "A-list" material. I think the ultimate measure of my work as a blogger, for good or ill, is the "network effect" that I can hopefully have on my Know More Media colleagues, and, more indirectly, on those who read my blog.
I did indeed start the idea of blogtipping, which I hope people continue to do monthly. It's just a fun and easy way to be unselfish and to point helpful blogs out to people (and to praise and advise the blogtippees). I didn't come up with the crazy awesome icons for it, though. Thank the KMM IT team for that. (And others around the Web have made their own versions, which I think is great.)
One more thing - it's funny, but I often get Brett Easton Ellis showing up in my ego search feeds in my feedreader. For some reason the search engines confuse Ellsworth with Ellis pretty easily. So call me whatever. :)
Diane, I just wish more people knew about you - you're an excellent writer and you make this A-List review a very fun place. An early happy 40th to ya.
