Answering the Call: Social Media Challenge
I'm not one to shy away from a challenge. So, when Colin Alsheimer threw down the gauntlet, I knew I had to answer the call. From his blog:
I challenge you to find 10–15 blogs that are not ranked in the top 150 on AdAge’s Power 150 List, or within Technorati’s top 100. The Rules:
- For 14 days, when you tweet blog posts, it can only be from those blogs. (the only exception being your employer’s or personal blog)
- Before starting the challenge, you must blog about your list.
- When you tweet posts from your chosen blogs, include the hashtag #smchallenge.
- Optional: At the end of the 14 days, write a follow-up post about some new post or blog that you found inspiring or enlightening.
I went through my Google Reader and picked out some of my favorite blogs. Sadly, The Consumerist, one of my favorites, is well within Technorati's Top 100. Sigh. But, I found 10 amazing blogs - and I can't wait to start sharing their content with you on Twitter!
