Ryan happy to help you find some new voices. Regarding your readership question, although Duncan Riley is vehemently against some of the services they can be good for speculative research if you are curious.

Aiderss.com
Compete.com
Alexa.com

If you combine them it should give you some idea of the size of their readership. Additionally you could ask, but I would do so very politely if at all.

Hi Mark

Not sure how you managed to spot that but thanks. Upon further review there
are a few funny things about those links to be honest as only one or two of
them is getting the outbound script that marks them in my GA stats.

As a point conscience I don't ever nofollow anyone except big sites which I
try to link to as rarely as possible because of their lack of link love.

Regarding your choices they all sound good and I can totally relate to your
noise vs signal dilemma, I am often weary of subscribing to new users on FF
for that very reason.

A recent fatality of the battle against noise is that almost no one sees
tweets in FF anymore as nearly everyone is hiding them unless there is a
reply. If no one sees it how can they reply?

I am glad you got value and I appreciate your remarks and I am confident no
one was offended as I know I would not be and indeed was surprised by some
of the nice comments from those I hold in such high regard.

Cheers

I went through the list and scanned the top few posts of each blog, ended up subscribing to Jeremiah, commenting on Friendfeed for SheenOnline - Mike Fruchter and Louis have a good presence in Friendfeed so I felt I could keep up there and the others I will rely on the others to report upon :) No judgement on them, I just think the others have more the focus on what I'm looking for.

I've fought hard for my signal/noise ratio on media sites recently hence the question :)

Its telling how much Friendfeed is helping with metablogging, its quickly becoming a glue to help tie it all together!

I'm curious, why did you nofollow the link to Hutch Carpenter?

No worries! :)

Justin, I am so sorry! I did that to Louis once too. I must have a wobbly
finger that just loves to tap the 'e' letter on my keyboard.

Fixed in a jiffy.

Roger, thanks for the mention. Your blog has been one of my daily top reads as well along with most of the above mentions.

Ps. Haven't checked out the searhme yet (on iPhone), but you've got my name misspelled in the link list above :)

experience?

Cheers

Hi Mark

Sorry for the delay I was asleep since my last comment on this post.

Regarding your question, what you are asking me to make is a really hard
decision, additionally I don't believe in this case it is relevant.

For example Mike Fruchter and Rahsheen (sheenonline) have totally different
styles and everything so for them to overlap it would be surprising to me
personally. Louis although he posts often and therefore some of his posts
cover the 'days' trends (echo-chamber) for the most part he prefers to
discuss tools or ideas he has had over long periods of time. This leads to
longer more detailed and a rather distinct difference between his content
and the other guys. Jeremiah also posts longer form thoughtful commentary than most others.

I mean I could go through each but I would say subscribe to each and put
them in a special file and monitor them and I think you will find that 90%+
of the time there is no crossover between them. Let me know if I am wrong.

Thanks for dropping by and I hope I helped. Please tell me what you decide
to do next. :)

Can you put links to all these blogs on this post? Your searchme widget doesn't show up on my iphone!

Re: The social media bloggers you read the most?

MarkEdmondson — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 09:26:48 -0000

Nice list, although I'm cautious to read these blogs to often since it may just be an echo chamber going over the same points. Which one would you pick if only one?

Re: The social media bloggers you read the most?

Roger Kondrat — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 02:45:09 -0000

Thanks bud, glad you like it! I was a little desperate for something that I
could use long-term.
