Top 10 Gen-Y Marketing Blogs via Viralogy

I love top 10 lists. I love Gen-Y bloggers. I love marketing blogs. Throw them all together into one post, and I’m so happy that I have to write my own blog post about it.

Today, Viralogy came out with their Top Ten Gen Y Marketing Blogs list. While some of the names on the list are familiar to me (Stuart Foster’s Lost Jacket) most are blogs I haven’t read before. I’ve already checked out a couple of them this morning and am greatly looking forward to reading the rest soon.

The metrics for rating the top blogs are very interesting too. Linkbacks, Traffic, Comments, Authority, Followers, and Retweets were all evaluated to create a rubric for rating each site. I find it very interesting that he didn’t just look at the blog’s status, but at the impact and waves the authors are making on other sites too.

If you haven’t checked out Viralogy before I highly suggest you do. It’s a blog/vlog by Jun Loayza (@JunLoayza) where he interviews, via Skype, other awesome gen-yers. His blog is pretty sweet too.

What do you think of the list? What blogs do you think he missed that should have been on it?

Twenty-Something Bloggers for Social Change

I care deeply about social change (obviously, otherwise why would I have started Media Awaken?!) and I also care deeply about my generation. At the most recent PodCamp Boston, Alexa Scordato and I presented on that very subject: is the millennial generation prepared to inherit the earth?

This is why I was thrilled when I read a blog post by Beth Kanter called Where are the twenty-something or GEN-Y Bloggers Who Are Writing About Social Change and Nonprofits? In this post she complies a list of twenty-something bloggers who write about social change and nonprofits. This is an incredible list! While some I had heard of, many I had not. SO, if you are interested in social change and want to hear what the millennial generation has to say about it, check out that post!
