Sean Moffitt at Agent Wildfire, author of blog Buzz Canuck, just published a list of top 23 U.S. Word of Mouth bloggers. As described by Sean…
bloggers and company heads have distinguished themselves by trying to
understand how ideas spread, online and offline, through a range of
different strategies and tactics. In my opinion, they are much closer
to the purpose and benefits of web 2.0, co-creation, social networks
and other web, cultural and social phenomenon."
I tip my hat to him for adding me to the list. I'm honored to be among this group. And I need to work on fulfilling this honor by keeping up on this blog, though these days I do a lot of blogging on Social Commerce and WOM on Bazaarblog.
Here's his list of the USA Team:
1. Jackie Huba/Ben McConnell – Church of the Customer (Austin, Texas)
2. Andy Sernovitz – Damn! I Wish I Thought of That! (Chicago, Illinois)
3. Pete Blackshaw – CGM (
4. Jim Nail – Cymfony
5. Ed Keller – Keller Fay
6. Jeremiah Owyang – Web Strategist
7. Rohit Bhargarva – Influential Marketing
8. Owen Mack – CoBrandIt
9. Walter Karl – WOM Study
10. Fred Reichheld – Net Promoter – Boston
11. Max Kalehoff – Attention Max
12. Oliver Blanchard – Brand Builder
13. Charlene Li – Groundswell
14. Sam Decker
15. Joseph Jaffe
16. John Moore – Brand Autopsy (Austin, Texas)
17. Peter Kim, Being Peter Kim (Austin, Texas)
18. Mack Collier – The Viral Garden
19. Spike Jones – Brains on Fire
20. Ron McDaniel – Buzzoodle
21.John Jantsch – Duct Tape Marketing
22. Kim Proctor – How to Create Powerful Customer Experiences
23. Rob Walker – Murketing
I assume these aren't in any particular order, as Peter Kim, John Moore, and John Jantsch have gained far greater reach over the years!
Sam, you are correct – no particular order – you are a very worthy choice (both your blogs are very insightful) – small clarification – looks like you caught an early post – I identified 36 US-based blogs with 36 European-based blogs – all with links
