My 6 Favorite Social Media Blogs
Excellent Social Media and Blogging Resources for Mid Sized and Large Organizations
Social media blogs number in the thousands, and no two reading lists look the same. In no particular order, here are my favorites.- TopRank Online Marketing. Lee Odden and company have been around for a long while and understand the intricacies of social media marketing within large organizations. The TopRank blog features insightful analysis backed with research, and helpful case studies. Plenty of b2b focus as well.
- Web Ink Now. David Meerman Scott is always one or two steps ahead of the crowd. Read his blog to find out what will be important in social media tomorrow. His case studies are awesome and so is his writing style.
- Jeff Bullas. Jeff loves lists. He gives you useful stuff like the Top 20 Threats to Social Media Marketing and The 22 Secrets of Power Bloggers. It must take Jeff a lot of time to assemble these posts, which makes me admire his steady output all the more.
- CK’s B2B Blog.CK is all b2b, all the time. As someone who concentrates on b2b myself, I really appreciate her relentless focus. Another thing I like about CK is her deft use of multimedia to get her point across.
- Robin Dickinson. Robin is an interesting case. He’s fairly new at blogging, but he’s already developed highly effective techniques for stimulating high powered business conversations. Robin not only provides great insight, his blog is in itself a social media case study. He’s also an extremely nice guy who’s guest authored on my blog and spent time on the phone with me kicking around social media ideas.
- Karen Swim. Karen’s blog is chicken soup for the blogger’s soul. If you’re struggling in the trenches of social media execution and need a lift, Karen will give it to you. She also knows the technical side of social media cold, and throws ideas out from time to time that completely reshape your strategic thinking.

Awww Brad! I am so honored to be on this list! I love your description and plan to shamelessly steal it!
I have had the great privilege to make wonderful friends like you who inspire my thinking and challenge me to raise my game. You top that list Brad. You and Joanna in particular who have been like two angels who have guided me through this blogging journey and graciously encouraged me along the way. Thank you!
Hi Karen, If you steal the description, we’ll still be far from even.
It’s obviously been great getting to know you and Joanna and all the rest these past five years or so. Hard to describe how much fun and how helpful it’s all been.
I agree with everyone of Jeff Bullas’ list blogs. Very helpful and a great model to follow. Thanks for sharing your list, Brad!
