Blogs from the Social Media Fishbowl
A few days ago, I was asking around on Twitter and Plurk about social media people’s must-read blogs. After a good influx of responses and requests to share, here we go! I’m happy that while some of these are old favorites, a few were new to me. And of course this is not an exhaustive list and isn’t meant to be definitive; these simply represent the 25 that were mentioned most often (most more than once).
Some focus on PR, some on marketing, some on a blend of everything. Please add yours in the comments, too.

Great list, Amber!
One that isn’t on that that has great content is Maki’s blog – http://www.doshdosh.com
Many thanks for including Diva Marketing and for the time it took to put the list together. There are so many good reads with more coming online every day. I expect one could spend eons identifying and reviewing just the biz blogs .. hmm .. wonder if that could turn into a paying gig
@Sonny that’s a great one, too.
@Toby You’re so welcome! I know my feed reader is bursting at the seams! If you figure out how to get paid for that kinda research, you GO!
Amber, excellent list. Thanks for sharing [and plurking about it]!
Happy to make the list! Thanks.
Thanks, Amber. I love the Daily Fix group — so I appreciate you giving them (us) air time here!
I got mentioned more than once? Wow. Thanks for including me. Or just putting me on there to make me feel good. Heh. Nice list. Proud to say I subscribe and regularly read all of them, as well as yours.
@CB more than welcome! I hope it’s helpful.
@Ann, @Todd, and @Jason, thanks all for saying hello. You’re all great resources to me and I’m glad to point a few more people in your direction so they can learn half as much as I have.
Thank you for the shout, Amber. I agree with Sonny, Maki at DoshDosh is good.
Perfect post, exactly what I need to start reading up on how to use social media to promote my blog! I have to agree with Valeria as well, DoshDosh is an amazing blog with a huge collection of resources for bloggers and internet marketing.

I’m going to need some time to check all those blog on this list, but on a first glance, I think you’re missing one of my favorite blogs http://freshpeel.com by Chris Wilson. I’m not affiliated with him in any way or a fanatic fan trying to promote his blog but I think he has some really fresh ideas and good output. I recommend that you check it out and let me know what you think =).
You can connect with me on Twitter @TheManalyst.
Thanks for the list!

Amber, great list. I am following some of them but not all. I am glad to see all these listed in one place, saved this now. I recommend adding by Francisco Rosales.
Ok, so I was about to go out for an hours walk to get some fresh air and I stumble across your list and I’ve spent the last three hours trawling through the blogs
Great info, thanks!
