Interesting how they sort of divide along business/marketing and more general writing focus lines. But no matter, there’s so much to be learned from this stellar group. From here, Michael will be reviewing the nominations based on several criteria – quality of posts (hmm, guess I’ll lose points for the occasional vulgarity or rant) … posting frequency (uh oh, there were a few weeks there that I didn’t post nuthin’) … reader involvement (that how many folks comment. completely out of my hands.) … and Technorati ranking (okay, this is alright at 11,314 – though a few months back I actually was a Top 5000, Top 10,000 badge holder.)

I appreciate all the votes! From here, we’ll just have to let Michael Stelzner and his “independent team of accountants” do the tally and analysis … and hope (pretty please) the Maven makes it!
