The recognitions just keep rolling in. First, I discovered that I’m one of the Top 100 Most Influential Marketers of 2008. Now, it seems I’m also a Twingly Top 100 Biggest Blogs of the Internet.
Twingly is a social blog search engine that claims to be completely spam-free. Their Top 100 list identify the top blogs in 12 different languages based on a proprietary ranking system. It’s kinda like what Technorati has been trying to do with their Authority ranking. From the Twingly blog:
Today we’re launching two exciting projects at Twingly.com – Top 100 and BlogRank.
