Great list Craig. Some really great thinkers and people in there, so I’m honoured to be listed alongside them.
Nice surprise to log on from a dodgy internet cafe by the beach in Cambodia and see the traffic spike.

What a great list! I cannot believe that I got two noms (nom nom nom). What a great group of bloggers! I am really excited that Daniel Oyston got up on this list too, there is some really good talent coming through at the moment and it is good to see that the quality can quickly rise to the top within blogging.

I have never been much of a writer, my writing skills according to my Year 12 english teacher are below average. So it is a real confidence booster for me to get on this list and I think it really demonstrates that blogging really is accessible to anyone and it is no longer just about the written word.

Ah yes Jonathon. There’s nothing quite as entertaining as a Sphinn flame war!!

Thanks for the kind praise for my post – especially James as I am sure he remembers the fun that was had after this post hit the search marketing networks.

Daniel, your logos quiz is killing me. I am up to 12 but a couple are really stressing me out. Logos aren’t supposed to hurt!

When the announcement is made, I’ll be half a world away on my honeymoon (hence why I’m recycling old Xmas posts on my blog at the moment, but I’ll be sure to find a wi-fi connection and toast the winner.

Wow, I am really chuffed to make the list. Surprised as well.

I got a lot of encouraging comments on my first ever post and a few push alongs from people like Julian Cole, Peter Wagstaff and Zac Martin. To think that I actually wrote my first post and sat on it for a fortnight before I had the guts to post it and show it to the world! Now I am hooked.

My only prob is that I am in Canberra and don’t get to regularly hang out with you guys at all the talked about beersphere’s and coffees … but watch out when I visit your cities in 2009.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed to my blog so far..

Well done on putting this list together, Craig – it’s an impressive selection.

It’s true I’m disappointed that tweets couldn’t be nominated – I was sure a velociroflcoptersaurus could have snuck in!

Big ups to all nominated though and keep up the good work.

I like Jonathan’s and Daniel’s posts a lot. Maybe Julian’s Top 50 post is linkbait, but it was still a mighty effort to compile the list and I think he made an impact by doing it. On the other hand, while Julian’s NAB spamming is funny and brave I don’t know if it tells us much, except that Julian is probably the next generation of The Chaser.

Glad I don’t have to pick the winner, but can’t wait to see who the winner is.

For me it’s Jonathon’s post by a country mile, and that’s not disrespecting any of the other entries. But you can’t ignore the global attention Jonathon’s post drew. And of course, a contribution from Matt Cutts doesn’t hurt.

Honourable mention to Julian for the Top 50 bloggers list, although I’d argue that’s the best linkbait campaign rather than an example of an outstanding individual post.

Wow – honoured to be held in such company.

As always when a particular post manages to catch the conversation as mine did at the time, the challenge then becomes trying to repeat it, which can be like trying to catch lightening in a bottle. For Julian to get two posts into the top ten illustrates that he has that ability to attract lightening like massive metal pylon so Julian I applaud you.

But to everyone, great job. I’ll be reading over the next few days and broadening my RSS feeds, I’m sure.
