Ad Age Launches Weekly Power 150 Blog Rankings

The AdAge Power 150 launches in the current edition of Ad Age. We're proud to be Number 14 this week.

So what does this mean?

o Wider acceptance of blogging by mainstream media.
o Good likelihood that the next President will have a blogger-in-chief on staff
o Increase in advertising on the top 25-30 blogs in the rankings
o Bragging rights for all involved
o And that old standby, probably not much

Valeria Maltoni extracted a list of the Top 20 Power PR Women from the Power 150 and I am yikes, Number One.

Nice, and I am honored because it is a distinguished list of accomplished women. But I do not consider myself a PR woman, having left behind PR some 10 years ago for Internet and social media marketing strategy. Sadly, I have very little regard for the frequently clueless and ethics-challenged way PR, in general, is now practiced.

B.L.

You move fast! The list was actually extracted by Kami Huyse -- hence the PR name. My intent is to start a W-List, a global list of women bloggers (probably in English). So if you added some to the list, who would they be?

I do both marketing and PR -- and call what I do communications ;-)

Congratulations...the hard work (and fun!) is paying off in new ways! (Now, how do I break the Top 150 next year?!)

Congrats BL - well deserved!!
