Thanks for the mention!

Wow, what wonderful company to be in!

Mahalo Toby, thank you for including Talking Story on your list - and it looks like I've got some new blogs to visit this weekend - fun!
Aloha, a hui hou,
Rosa

Thanks also for including Quality Service Marketing on your list. And ditto Rosa's comment about a great new blog list to check out.

Take care,
Sybil

So is this first in a series? Are you planning next to do one one men bloggers? Then how about dividing bloggers by age, sex, race or whether or not they are right-handed or left handed. From where I sit, I'm much more interested in just seeing what people have to say than what their genital orientation is.

Shel Israel, shut your mouth! Talk about unwarranted, uncalled for comments...mein Gott! Getting that abrasive over something as benign as listing a few female bloggers is really over the top.

Oh, and if this upsets you that much, you really won't like the upcoming BlogHER conference, will you.

Who asked your opinion anyway?

Hi Toby! Good list. I think there's a difference between "dividing bloggers" and what you're doing here. "Dividing bloggers" could happen if you were making any sort of value judgement here. But you're not. Listing people who share a common characteristic is the basis of social networking. So there's value in the list. And I also agree with Shel that it's the words that matter, although I wouldn't go so far as to propose that this list of yours is in any way infringing on that ideal. Shel likely sees an implied value judgement, but I don't. One in the Just for Fun category might be YellowJeepGirl.com... always a good read. Best, Joe

I think Shel is just pulling Toby's chain here. However, if he is serious, then shame on him.

I hope Shel's pulling her chain.

The inverse is a better question: why can Toby not do this, but we can publish lists of business bloggers, tech bloggers, etc?

Ad hoc communities form around a variety of things, what makes race / sex / religion any worse than anything else?

The only thing dividing the blogosphere is people casting judgements, not people saying "here are the people in [x] sphere I respect".

I'm a corporate blogging diva! Writing and managing five blogs.

Christine - writing five blogs you must qualify for "divine diva status!

This is fun! How about: women bloggers unite! Or is that, untie? I'm such a bad speller! Ok...seriously, Jeremy has the right approach. Toby, you go, girl! We women have to stick together. And...truth be told...we like to stick to some men, too! If Shel is serious, he has a serious identity problem. If he's trying to make a point...what is it? That women are uniting, supporting each other, willing to help each other out...gee, did he think that was a totally male business trait?

Toby's classification of blogs is so like Microsoft Access, Google, and eBay that it is laughable to think that it shouldn't be done. Data becomes information, information becomes ideas, ideas become plans, plans become action, actions become results, etc. ONLY of the data is collected, sorted, analyzed, etc. That's how we learn and grow.

Toby - you're awesome. Keep being you.

Please add one more cool diva to the mix - Funny Business - a smart marketing blog. http://funnybusiness.typepad.com/funnybusiness/
