Two things: how much time do you have on your hands!! ;) and secondly… how did you select your list of blogs… any reason I’m not in there (or am I that poorly ranked??)
June 20, 2007 at 3:02 pm
Hey, sorry, I only just noticed your post here! Apologies for not responding earlier. The methodology is very simple - it is actually based on my list that I built up over several months through a combination of my favourite bloggers, recommendations, serendipitous stumblings and blogs uncovered through searches. I’ve always been explicit and upfront about this. I don’t claim it to be 100% comprehensive, nor could any list be.
December 18, 2007 at 2:19 pm
Hey! I recommend MY blog. :-)
January 6, 2008 at 1:00 am
Cool. You’re in, Mr LeDrew. :)
January 17, 2008 at 9:45 am
I’ll flatter you by saying this is a great tool…(it was how I discovered your blog, via a link)…and then move onto suggesting you might consider my blog for inclusion?
I know it’ll scupper the ‘Top 100′ feel, but it’ll give me some incentive if I’m just outside the Top 100 to begin with!..;)
January 26, 2008 at 12:56 am
Hi,
It doesn’t scupper the ‘top 100′ feel at all.
If you register higher than others in the current 100, then you’re in. Simple as that. I’d also recommend that you give the Power150 a shot.

Well, I take a look at the blog, make sure you’re talking about PR or from a PR perspective or from within a PR enterprise, then add you to the list for the next edition!
I’ve taken a look, and you’re on the list alongside several other candidates. I guess now we’re into September I’ve got a busy weekend ahead…
