I’m ranked 8th in Top 50 most influential blogs list

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. You can even subscribe by email! Thanks for visiting!

[blush] I’m up there with friends and colleagues Trevor Cook (7th), Paull Young (3rd) and Laurel Papworth ("I have a silk worm and I’m not afraid to use it") who is 4th.

We’re all part of a Top 50 list for B&T Magazine (no, Rude Boy, not "Bums and T*ts Monthly"). You can find the list on pages 35-38.

The B&T folks kindly said of me:

"The only blogger in the top 10 with his own press kit, Lee Hopkins is an internal and web-based external communication business consultant who shares his views via a blog, which offers visitors a whole heap of content around better understanding of social media"

Which shows that the author of the list actually did spend more than 10 seconds there. I’m exceptionally flattered; especially so when you consider who else is in the 50.

No doubt it was Trevor’s fabulous new-look blog over at Crikey that pushed him ahead of me [grin] — for which a thousand credit points goes to my good mate for scoring such a great place to reside.

Crikey, for non Aussie residents, is a fabulous site full of passionate communicators who aren’t afraid to take on the ’sacred cows’ of society. It is a very fitting new home for Trevor and one I am good-naturedly envious of! Although it is slightly antithetical to the nature of social media that there are no links off to the websites of commenters to posts on Crikey. But I guess you can’t have it all, and it is their site.

Oh, and btw, Laurel — if the ol’ geezer gets an invite to speak in Auckland in March, he can bow at my feet in gratitude… {grin}
