      <![CDATA[<p><img alt="OPMLlogo.jpg" src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/OPMLlogo.jpg" width="79" height="74" />Turns out Chris Miller over at <a href="http://thesocialnetworker.com/tsn/tsn.nsf/dx/top-150-social-media-in-opml.htm">The Social Networker</a> noticed a list of top <a href="http://blog.ecairn.com/2008/11/06/top-150-social-marketing-blogs/">150 social media blogs</a> on eCairn's blog last week, but was disappointed to see that it was not available as an OPML file.  So, he created one. </p>

<p>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.</p>]]>
      <![CDATA[<p>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. </p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Using <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/postrank_filters_your_info.php">AideRSS PostRank</a>, 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 <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/socialmediamarketinggreatesthits.opml">here</a>.</p>

<p>If you're not familiar with OPML, take a look at this <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/opml_key_for_pe.php">OPML primer</a> or read Marshall's <a href="http://marshallk.com/how-to-create-an-opml-file">how (and why) to create an OPML file</a>.</p>

<p>Earlier this year we compiled a list of <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/opml_resources_for_readwriteweb_readers.php">ReadWriteWeb OPML resources</a>; take a look if you're interested in what we are reading, or come join <a href="http://www.agglom.com/webslideshow/1681/RWW_on_FriendFeed">us on FriendFeed</a>, where incidentally we first noticed this story, and we can discuss other cool things we find on the Web.<br />

        <![CDATA[<p>Upon further investigation I have to ask a different question: what is Corvida doing on your OPML file in the first place? She was *nowhere* on the original list of the top 151*!</p>

<p>I'm guessing most people would be far more interested in an OPML file that accurately represents the list, without personal bias and discrimination. Gift or no gift... what has happened seems wrong to me.</p>

<p>*There was a tie for #28</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Turns out your very own Corvida appears on the list but the OPML file you link to has the HTMLUrl as the very out of date ilumine dot net URL as opposed to her more modern shegeeks domain... it's disappointing to see such oversights on a list that everyone is claiming to have vetted in their own way... pffft... I look at it for 5 seconds and this jumps out at me... Now I'll wait and see just how long this inaccuracy remains in place.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>I've imported the OPML into Google reader and created a <a href="http://www.google.com/reader/shared/user/14029506431394955239/label/top.150.social.media?hl=en" rel="nofollow">shared page</a> containing posts from all the blogs. The page also has its own RSS feed. Thanks, RRW, this is an excellent tool for those interested in Social Media.</p>]]>
