The die is cast. Here is my final list of nominees for the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2009.
This is an updated post, guys.
Good writing, wit, humor and great connection with readers define my nominees for top influential blogs. Cuteness is a superficial yardstick to measure a blog’s potentiality for greatness. That’s why I have edited every reference to cuteness here.
These 10 blogs have indeed emerged from their caves, and now have ventured out into the blogosphere armed with nothing but excellence.
Meet my elite team of influential blogs
1. Ada of Adaphobic
2. Dee of Tales From the Mom Side
3. Kelvin of Kelvinonian Ideas 2.0
4. Rye of Flamindevil
5. Silver of Dare to Speak Out
6. Snow of Dear Bloggery
7. Roy of The Struggling Blogger
8. Doc Z of Zorlone
9. Fedhz of Fedhz/Home Buddies
10. Jehz and friends – Patay Gutom
Assignment from Lolo Jan
1. blog hop to gain exposure and more readers for your blog
2. ask your own readers to write a post about this writing project themselves.
3. convince your followers to include you in their own top 10 list.
4. keep doing your outstanding work in your blog as this translates into more votes.
5. coordinate with me and among yourselves so we’d be making significant results.
You need a vote – ask for it
Use every weapon in your arsenal. Be charming. Be eloquent. Be funny. Anything to make yourself heard so you get the vote of the blogs you’re visiting. Throw yourself into this project wholeheartedly. If you don’t get the vote you covet, take heart, at the very least you’d get yourself more readers and friends. Not so bad, right?
Be anything but coy. To get what you need you have to ask for it.
Vote for me, too
I need you to vote for me. There – I’ve said. Quite simple, right? Okay, one more time with feeling: vote for me, capice? Ahahaha.
Now, that’s not so bad huh? Moving on….
Take no prisoners, guys
Really now. I need you to win. Barring this, you have to make a very strong showing. As of now, you’re all influential to me. But take this to another level.
Be exasperatingly (for the opposition at least) INFLUENTIAL.
The Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2009 is a yearly writing project by Ms. Janette Toral of Influential Blogger. If you’re interested to join this contest, you can check out Ms. Toral’s post on prizes, rules and other details here.

hahahaha,
Recent blog post: Random Shots 001
not under observation, hirap lang talaga akong magcompose ng comment na may relevance, for fear that I may not get the right idea of the post.
i may not look like it Jan, but english intimidates me
English intimidates me, too. But I don’t let it stop me, Roy. I’m not
conceited and completely sold on my power of comprehension, let alone
expressing how I relate to what I read.
It doesn’t stop me because I don’t let it get in the way of my progress. If
you can call it that.
I look deep inside and express what my gut feel tells me. That’s not too
hard right? After all, who’s to know how you feel, how you relate to
things/ideas better than you are. Trust your instincts, is all I can say.
You’re far ahead of the game, Roy. You’re doing good.
Ah yes, the art of humility. That’s a great thing. Keeps us grounded and
all that. We should not, however, second guess ourselves. We are making
progress, one baby step at a time sometimes. At other times we hurtle at
breakneck speed. It’s all for the good. We’re doing great.
Trust me.
Okay… she’s the blogger that never sleeps. Idol!
Ahaha… Talk about influential huh?
uu, hehe. kala ko ba xmen.. naging heroes naman. si doc naman eh. nigugulo ako hehe.
X-men at heroes naman parehong mutants e. pero tama ka. sige na nga ako na
si Nightcrawler.
Magulo ba? Napagod kasi yan kanina sa clinic nya. Maraming tinuliang bata.
Ahahaha
Great list of blogs – too often we only hear about the really high profile bloggers. I am going to add some of these to my favorites. Influential bloggers is an interesting award. How does one define influential? On who?
It’s primarily for new or emerging bloggers who have gained and continued to
gain wide readership. The cut off date for a blog to qualify: May 2008 up
to the present time.
It strikes me as a loose definition of influential blogging. After all, the
bloggers cited are just starting to break from their cocoon. But in the
process from the nomination to the awarding of the final Top Ten, at least
these blogs will have attained some measure of influence.
You can say it’s more like a leap of faith of sorts. Or a stretching of a
particularly unambiguous word. But that’s the nature of and benefits of
memes or tags – they can spell the difference in some blogs acceptance into
the mainstream of the blogosphere. And that feat makes them influential.
Have I lost you in that one? Ahahaha. Perhaps I need to provide a link to
the organizer’s post on this writing project. “,)
I just often wonder if influence really equals traffic by definition and even then is it daily traffic, rss feeds, etc. Maybe next year I will have enough of an audience to make a run for the awards
