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.

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 š

@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! š

@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.

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!
