Recently, our good friend Tamara Gielen passed the Blog Olympics “stick” to us when she posted her favorite blogs. It was quite the task to narrow it down to 7 blogs, as there are about 20 of our favorites that we would like to include on this list. It is now our Blog Olympics duty and pleasure to share our 7 favorite blogs that we like to read:

• No Man is an iland
• EmailKarma
• B2B Lead Generation Blog
• Small Business Trends
• Techno//Marketer
• Techcrunch
• The Email Wars

Now that we’ve listed our favorite blogs, it’s their turn to step up. The blogs that we’ve listed should now pass the stick and list their 7 favorite blogs…see the trend? The favorite blogs do not have to be email marketing blogs.

Please note that the blogs are listed in no particular order. The only rule is that you have to link to the blog that passed the stick to you, but you cannot add this blog to your list of favorite blogs.

Enjoy and keep on passing the stick!

Good luck keeping up…..

With over 70 million active blogs, and more than 120,000 new blogs each day, we’re drowning
in blogmania!

Finding good blogs can be a full-time job……which actually sounds like a pretty fun job to me.

Luckily, like most things, good blogs rise to the top, word spreads around and readers are able to connect with the best of the best.

Here’s one such blog worth including on your reading list:

http://www.b2bemailmarketing.com/ by Tamara Gielen

Tamara reads up on all the good email marketing info, attends webinars and trade shows, and keeps her blog current with good updates on key email marketing issues/information. Plus, she lives in Belgium so it’s nice to get her perspective from outside the US.

In addition to her articles, check out these areas as well:

>The ‘About’ tab has a cool map showing where her readers are from, a nice twist for a blog
>The ‘Blogs I Read’ tab gets you a little inside info on where you might want to go for good content
>The ‘Network’ tab offers a chance to join her ‘Email Marketer’s Club’. It’s listed as by invitation only, but if I can get in then….well, ‘nuf said.

You may even find that dream job posted here as well.

Enjoy her blog, good stuff.
