Turns out Chris Miller over at The Social Networker noticed a list of top 150 social media blogs on eCairn’s blog last week, but was disappointed to see that it was not available as an OPML file. So, he created one.
Today, we realized that the most popular posts from those blogs may be useful resources for many folk, so we created our own OPML file. Ah, the beauty of the Web.
It all started when eCairn created a Top 150 social media marketing list from the roughly 1000 social media blogs they monitor, concentrating on blogs focused specifically on social media marketing that were written in English.
Chris liked the list; didn’t like that it wasn’t offered as an OPML file, so he added the feeds and removed those he didn’t like – a gift to himself he says, and a gift for you to download and share.
Using AideRSS PostRank, ReadWriteWeb has created an OPML file of the greatest hits from each of those 150 blogs; the top 20 percent of the most popular posts from each site. You can grab it here.
If you’re not familiar with OPML, take a look at this OPML primer or read Marshall’s how (and why) to create an OPML file.
Earlier this year we compiled a list of ReadWriteWeb OPML resources; take a look if you’re interested in what we are reading, or come join us on FriendFeed, where incidentally we first noticed this story, and we can discuss other cool things we find on the Web.
