A few months back, I had compiled two lists to help define the social media scene in India — a list of marketing, public relations and social media blogs in India and a list of social media agencies in India.
Now, Sampad Swain has taken the idea further by compiling a ranking of social media blogs in India, using a combination of metrics — Google PageRank, Alexa Rank, Number of Feed Subscribers, Technorati Authority and his own qualitative assessment (Sampad’s Rank).
I appreciate the hard work Sampad has put into the list (and it’s flattering to be ranked first), but I personally believe that blog rankings are premature for the India social media scene. Blog rankings are useful as filters when there are hundreds (or thousands) of blogs. As of now, there are only twenty odd social media blogs in India, so, focusing on rankings will make some people defensive and detract from what we need to do — build a community by highlighting each other’s work.
For me, the value is in the list, not the rankings, so, here’s the list, without the rankings — Gauravonomics Blog, Rajesh @ BlogWorks, India PR Blog, Customer World, Kiruba Shankar, Dina Mehta, Bhatnaturally, Technology, Mobility, Usability and other Musings, Brants, Daksh’s marketing Blog, Interactive Marketing Blog, Marketing in a Branded World!, MisEntropy, Saurabh Garg, Marketology- Emerging Trends, One Size Fits One, CheckPosts – On Marketing Media and Culture, Digerati Forum.
If you are interested in the social media scene in India, you should have these blogs on your feed reader.
Good initiatives. I like the idea of building a community. This idea is viral-able.
Great list. And congrats on being the top social media blog in India. Have added these blogs on my feed list
