Top Ten Emerging Influental Bloggers

I was told about a unique blog competition where Ms. Janette Toral is in search for the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009.

To qualify the blogs must be created on or after May 2008 and are exerting a certain influence in the blogosphere. Nominated blogs could win cash prizes of $100 each and also 10 writing projects can win $100 each. The rules of the contest are here.

Ten blogs will be chosen based on the blogs with the most votes.

I have actually gone through the contest and several other people’s posts and read about casually perused twenty two blogger who were nominated from various people,these people I would list as the top ten emerging influential bloggers based on their blog topics, styles and how friendly and personable the blog owners are.

1. Jena Isle Online - by Jena Isle

JenaIsle has become a twitter follower and friend and consistently plays my twitter poetry game with enthusiasm almost every weekday.   Her blog provides excellent advice, articles, recommendations to people in a wide variety of topics, but she gets my #1 spot as she helped me network with most of the bloggers on the below list and got me involved with the Jedi Circle.

2. Zorlone - by Zorlone

I first came in contact with Zorlone by competing with him in the PlotDog Writers Offering Our Finest (WOOF) contest, and he is a great guy, fellow poet and provides some great competition.  We have mutual respect for each others creative writing styles and I always enjoy reading and recommending his creative works, he is also one of the friendliest guys I have ever met on twitter.

3. The Struggling Blogger – by Roy

I run across many of Roy’s blogs via entrecard and other networks, but this blog is valuable as it is specific to helping bloggers blog, and has many of the same goals as my own dragonblogger.com.

4.Writing to Exhale – by Jan

Jan is another super friendly guy running a blog that is around a year old, he is very talented with his creative writing and is someone who I enjoy connecting with on Twitter.

The remainder of the people on this blog I don’t know as well, having only been in communication with the occasional comment or so and entrecard visit for those who use it, but they would be my top picks based on what I found on their blogs.

5. A Walk in the Dark - by Luke
6. Tales From the Mom Side – by Dee
7. Father Blogger Dot Com - by Angel
8. It’s all a Matter of Perspective: Mine - by- Holly Jahangiri
9. LifeLots - by Irene
10. I Love/Hate America - by Bing

The sponsors for the prizes are:
Absolute Traders, My Brute Cheats, Business Summaries, Fitness Advantage Club, Events and Corporate Video, Events at Work, Dominguez Marketing Communications, Red Mobile and Blog4Reviews.com.

    Happy too, thank JenaIsle as well since she informed me of the contest.

  6. dragonblogger July 13, 2009 8:38 am

    I realized that all 3 of my blogs qualify for this contest as they all were created after August 2008 :)

  7. Jena Isle July 13, 2009 8:46 am

    Really Justin? If I haven’t made my list, I would include you. But your blogs are very popular even then.

    Hi Justin,

    Thanks a lot for nominating my blog WritingToExhale. It’s quite an honor that my youngish blog has found favor with a respected writer, poet and blogger of your stature.

    My contributing to your daily Twitter poems has served me well to get you to notice me, I suspect. Plus the fact that I have sometimes tried to throw a monkey’s wrench into your creative mojo by coming up with an occasional ill-advised and least poetic words. I’m properly contrite now, methinks. :)

    Once again, thanks, Justin. God bless. :)

    Next year is my 1 year blogging anniversary, can you believe it has only been a year, I feel like I have blogged forever already.

  11. dragonblogger July 13, 2009 9:17 am

    No problem Roy, I always enjoy reading your stuff in the WOOF contests.

  12. dragonblogger July 13, 2009 9:18 am

    I am not a long standing blogger, as mentioned I started blogging in August 2008, all of my blogs were created in August/Sept 08, I have not been at this too long myself.

  13. Holly Jahangiri July 13, 2009 10:59 am

    Thank you, Justin! I’m honored, and I do hope you’ll visit more often so as to remedy the fact that, “The remainder of the people on this blog I don’t know as well, having only been in communication with the occasional comment or so…” I’ll do the same.

    Thank you, I am very new to the Jedi bloggers thing, but am very interested, you are all a very tight bunch of people in the blogging community and I applaud your efforts to share information with each other. Happy to be a part of their group.

  18. dragonblogger July 13, 2009 7:43 pm

    Well met, I will have to learn how you all promote each others stuff and what other social networks you frequent so I can be more active, sure is hard to find time working 60 hours a week at my day job.

  19. Jena Isle July 13, 2009 11:28 pm

    Hello Justin, all of us have day jobs too, Doc Z is a doctor, rather a poet moonlighting as a doctor…he he he..Jan has a computer store, and all the rest have tight schedules too. I work too , sometimes 12 hours a day…but this is our passion, so we find time for it, visit each other’s blogs and support each other.
