Listed in Top 25 SOBCon Influential Blogs
Once again, the challenge of distance has meant that the event, in Chicago, has come and gone without Thinking Home Business being in attendance.
So it was a particularly agreeable surprise today to see that Thinking Home Business had been included in Buzz Logic’s , ”the bloggers who are most influential on the topic of the SOBCon conference”.
The BuzzLogic post on the subject explains .
BuzzLogic’s influence algorithm takes a dozen factors into account when determining the influence of posts and a blog overall – a blogger’s credibility and expertise on a specific topic over time, who is linking in, the quality and influence of all in-linkers and the popularity of a post overall.
The list as provided by BuzzLogic is of the URLs (site links). This morning I’ve spent some time (actually a lot of time) visiting each of the blogs so as to add some details here.
I thought that would be a pretty quick list to put together. I didn’t factor in my curiosity! Actually, the process has blown my Friday morning agenda clear out of the water. There is so much interesting, informative and entertaining material in the blogs listed here (the other ones anyway 
) that I dare you not to lose an hour or two yourself once you dive in. But I can assure that if you do you will be better informed.
And I’m betting you’ll have have acquired a fresh bunch of RSS feeds if you don’t have all of these already.
It was so obvious to me that the people listed here care about what they write and care about how useful, informative and entertaining it is for their readers. To use an old Australian expression, I “dips me lid” to my colleagues in this list (translation: my hat’s off).
Here’s the list, with a note by me on each of the bloggers and their blogs.
