Alltop Adds Category for PR Blogs

in Blogs,Public Relations

The blogosphere by its nature is unstructured, messy and disjointed. This often makes it difficult for newcomers to find blogs that reflect their interests. Of course you could do a Google Search for “PR blogs” or try the same search on Technorati or Ice Rocket.

But there’s a much simpler way thanks to Guy Kawasaki and Alltop. Alltop doesn’t require you to test a bunch of keywords to find the most relevant results. Instead, it employs a social algorithm to identify the top blogs divided by category.

And recently, they added a category for PR blogs.

I’m not included yet, but hopefully I can crack that nut in the next 12 months with your help.

(Hat tip to my buddy Josh for the head’s up on this.)

    I like AllTop – handy starting point in niches for newbies.

    I know they don’t claim to be the definitive list in any niche, but the PR list is down right terrible. They’ve missed many, many really good blogs and they’ve included some extremely strange choices.

    It’d be understandable if it was hard to find a list… but there is SO many PR blog lists out there – AdAge Power 150 as a starter, my colleague Constantin’s comprehensive list, I even saw a new list pop up on the weekend (granted it’s not very accurate either).

    All in all I give AllTop in general a B+, AllTop PR though can only achieve a FAIL :) .

    Thanks for making those other recommendations, Paull. I should probably have called out some of those as well, but I really was gearing this towards communicators that are new to social media. Alltop organizes its blogs in a very simple fashion, and in this case, Constantin’s list might be too overwhelming.

    Good tips, either way!
