A few days ago, I was asking around on Twitter and Plurk about social media people’s must-read blogs. After a good influx of responses and requests to share, here we go! I’m happy that while some of these are old favorites, a few were new to me. And of course this is not an exhaustive list and isn’t meant to be definitive; these simply represent the 25 that were mentioned most often (most more than once).
Some focus on PR, some on marketing, some on a blend of everything. Please add yours in the comments, too.
