« My Blogging Z-List Meme »

Mark Evans led me to Billionswithzeroknowledge.com, which led me to The Viral Garden, and the idea of a Z-List of Bloggers.  Although, truth be told, there are more than a few folks on the list below who have risen above the rank of Z Lister. :-)

The idea is that publicizing Zlisters will pull more and more wheat out of the chaff, making a better experience for both writer and reader. Now that’s an appealing idea, akin to The Good Blogs (which, by the way, has over 11,000,000 blogs in it’s widget)
Go ahead, copy the list into your own blog, add blogs that YOU like (try and stay away from the A-lister blogs, huh), and see what happens!

[C.B. Whittemore]

Thanks for mentioning Flooring The Consumer!

[mindblob]

Hi Jules,
Thanks for the mention and best wishes!

[Valeria Maltoni]

Jules:

What you say about aspiring to good conversations is what I've treasured since I can remember. Although I'm a marketer with solid communication skills, the important part of my work is creating a space where ideas and people connect-- possibly to make contact and a true difference in their lives, and in mine.

[Laura]

Joined up with the Zlinkers from your list. Added a few of my own. It will be interesting to read the blogs on your list and see what great new things I find. :) I'm just a little addicted to blog gadgets.

[Kate Trgovac]

Hi, Jules .. thanks for including MyNameisKate on your list! I like your comment about adding blogs that YOU like. One of the things I really value about the people I read is that they also act as an editor for me ... and filters are a valued service in the info-glut world of today. Thanks! And Happy New Year! Kate

[Gavin Heaton]

Hi Jules ... I agree with Kate -- I trust the blogger that I read to filter the content for me ... It is a shame that most people don't explain why they chose their five ... sometimes the reason helps us find the gold that can be missed on a quick visit.

[jules]

Hey Gavin! That is a great idea - I will see if I can explain how my handful was chosen. It's funny what make people stick with a blog, through the thick and the thin ;-)
Thanks for being part of the conversation!

cheers,
jules

[Jorge]

I must be an a-lister, ;)

There are so many lists.

I might just go into business making lists of lists!

[trev]

Thanks for the link.I like this idea - a lot.
Gotta go do the work thing now, but will definitely hop on the bandwagon tonight when the dust settles

[Vernon Lun]

Wow, I'm honored to be on top of your list! You bring so much energy and enthusiasm to your blog. There's always a reason to smile after every visit. Happy New Year. Vern.

[Mark Evans]

Jules,
While I recognize some of the names on the list, I'm looking forward to spending some time checking out many others. cheers, Mark

[Chris]

"Never underestimate the power of a small group of dedicated people to change the world. Indeed, it's all that ever have."

by Margaret Mead

The Z-list is the embodiment of this quote. Thanks for adding us.

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for posting the z-list Jules and stopping by One Reader - what fun this has turned out to be. It inspires me to keep blogging!

[jules]

Blog away!
