Let's do the Z-List Meme!

I've got a bit of time between family activities, so I'm blogging a bit.

I see that Mack Collier created a Z-lister meme, and someone was nice enough to include me in this list (and MANY other people were nice enough to keep including me in the list). I've gotten probably 20 new links, easily beating my goal of 11 new links back before the end of the year. Thank you for that folks!

So I'm including the most recent list I saw that included me (Thanks Troy Worman!), and add a few of my own.

I'm going to start with my favorites. I won't tell you where my list ends and the first list begins.

I could seriously list 100 (or more) wonderful blogs that I have fallen in love with, and encourage you to read, in 2006. The bottom half are ones I didn't see in the top list, but that should be. I will be doing an article in early 2007 listing ALL the blogs I read that I love, but for now, with the limited time I have, this list will have to do.

I'd also like to thank EVERYONE who blogs. As you know, we were all named as the "Person of the Year" by Time Magazine, so congrats to EVERYONE who was named. I don't know why they didn't single you out personally for this honor. I know I was missed because I was traveling.

Well done Phil - I knew you had a link goal to hit, so I had to help you out dude! You and yours have a fantastic Holiday and a awesome New Year!

[Doug Karr]

Thanks for the mention!!!

[C.B. Whittemore]

Thank you for mentioning Flooring The Consumer!

[Lewis Green]

Thanks for listing bizsolutionsplus.

[Nick Rice]

Phil, you've got a great blog. I probably would've never found you without the z-lister meme. It's almost scary how powerful this is. I moved from Blogger to Wordpress less than a week before the meme began - so I was starting off completely fresh from a Technorati perspective. Since this has started, I've gone from ~190,000 to ~65,000 rank. Thanks for keeping it alive.

[Tim Draayer]

Phil, That is quite the list. Thanks for including me and Live Your Best Life in it. 2006 was a great time with allot of great blogs wasnt' it? I have a sneaking suspicion that 2007 is really going to rock.

Stay great and keep in touch!

Hi Phil,
Thank you for the link. Really like the positive perspective of your blog.

[Toby]

Appreciate the mention of Diva Marketing. You're so right .. there are 100s and 100s of great blogs and more launching every day.

[Gavin Heaton]

Hey Phil ... I am sure you are way past 20 links by now ;) It is great to see this meme continuing to power on!

“Never underestimate the power of a small group of dedicated people to change the world. Indeed, it’s all that ever have.”
by Margaret Mead

The Z-list is the embodiment of this quote.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Phil: thanks for Z listing Women, Art, Life and for visiting. I keep trying to keep up with it, but there are dozens of folks out there with different versions. Ah, well, it certainly does keep me from being bored and not having anything to read.

Very much enjoyed your 8 questions post and the question/thought think (do you have a pronunciation key?)
