Industry Blogs

About three years ago I created a blog directory, Blogarama. I sold it a while ago now, and ever since I have pondered the idea of creating a directory specifically dedicated to cataloging the business blogosphere.
Why? Markets are conversations, and blogs as part of the marketing mix represent a new opportunity for organizations to engage their markets. A directory of business blogs would be facinating as a window on industry, and a great way to discover what works and what doesn’t. It would also serve as a discovery mechanism for industry pundits and so help stimulate the conversation.
Anyway, after a lot of thinking about it I was finally prompted to action when I discovered a new open source project, phplinkdirectory, which seemed like the perfect platform for a simple, but robust, directory of business blogs…
And so it is I am pleased to announce the public launch of Industry Blogs, a directory to catalogue the burgeoning business blogosphere.
Industry Blogs is a simple directory, with the simple goal to be a clean and comprehensive catalogue of the best business blogs out there. If you are a business blogger please go ahead and submit your blog to the directory, and subscribe to the category RSS feeds so be notified of new blogs in your industry. You can also get a feed of all the latest links here.
The directory structure is purposefully high level at this stage, but I expect to add more depth to it on suggestion from bloggers in particular industries. So if you have a specific category suggestion please let me know. Otherwise, enjoy and remember “markets are conversations“.
