I just recently set up my very first blog. I have been looking at other blogs to get ideas on how to make my blog awesome and I got a lot of great ideas off of your blog.thanks for the great ideas,I hope you don’t mind? I want to include some of your article on my site and of course I will link back to your site.Thank You.
You lost me, buddy. I mean, I assume I get what youre expressing. I have an understanding of what you are saying, but you just appear to have ignored that you can find some other folks in the world who see this matter for what it truly is and may not agree with you. You may be turning away a decent amount of men and women who might have been followers of your web site.
I was suggested this website by my cousin. I am not sure whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my difficulty. You’re wonderful! Thanks!
Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
mmobot, mmo-bot, mmobots, thank you for information.
Nicely written and helpful post – Keep it up! I will write about this on my blog
Does Brian deserve to be nr 1 in this top?
Who decides who are the best and based on what?

I am curious as to the formula used to arrive at rating the experts. You did an awesome job, but, I am curious if it was based off of social net profit, total followership, or membership of certain key training organizations.
Erik, thanks for actual materials. league list – very important for all.
Erik-
What an awesome idea – thanks for including me amongst such an amazing list. As a die hard baseball fan (and long suffering Mets fan) I went with the NL – but your AL is pretty darn impressive too. Speaking of baseball – I bet one category where none of the above can top me is Major League Parks- been to 42 and counting (hoping to get to Minneapolis in ’10 to make it 43!) Cheers, Dave
You left out Beth Kanter @kanter – social media icon in the non-profit world as well as Wendy Harman @wharman (she is responsible for Obama’s 1st tweet through the American Red Cross twitter account) and Danielle Brigida @starfocus at the National Wildlife Federation.
Very flattering – I thought Canada was the latest State… hmm…
Seriously… many thanks!
Mitch:
Thanks for stopping by! Hopefully our paths cross in the real world soon. Hopefully not inCanada during the winter though
Wayne:
Thanks for stopping by and voting. Looks like you have selected the winning team so far in the National League Team according to the poll results. Your Honorable Mention is well deserved, keep being social.
Can you add links to this list of people?
It would be great to be able to click through to their profiles.
Rick:
Great suggestion – I’ve been running around like crazy so I hope I can add these hyperlinks today!
Eri, thanks for including me in the list. As a Red Sox fan, I’m relieved to be in the American league list. I don’t think I could have handled being in the other one
Shiv:
According to the poll the National League is kicking your guys butt…ironic since the National League hasn’t done well in the real All-Star game for the past decade. Keep up the great writing/research, I love reading your stuff.
As usual, I enjoy your posts, Erik. Some great names on your list here.
Two things:
1. How is it that you are “Manager” for both the AL and NL teams? Not even Tony LaRussa or Joe Torre can pull that off!
2. Given the time of year, how about an All-Pro football team? Talk about on field engagement..AFC vs. NFC Super Social Media Bowl?
Cheers!

Ted:
Great points! The graphic was easier to do for All-Stars (football field was going to be difficult) plus I liked the round number of 20. LOL on the Manager…hey as I said it’s fantasy right? Have a great one Ted!
Exactly! Sorry you are in the National League – I started doing the cross Matrix and it got too complicated for my small brain so I went reverse alphabetical order…
I know there is no DH in the National League as well!
I have you batting 3rd – I hope that’s okay
Thanks for stopping by! You may also enjoy this recent post I did on Ford. Cheers!

Wow what a great idea for a post! Wish I had thought of it
You have a really good lineup on both teams! Will this game be televised? Keep up the good work!
Amanda:
Thanks – glad you liked the idea. The game will be televised on Hulu
Best, Erik
Mari:
I’m glad you liked the baseball card photo – sorry no fun hat in it this time! Thanks for the kind words about my book and videos. Keep up the great work as many many have applauded your selection and rightfully so!
Morning Erik! I could not agree with you more on Mari, Seth, Chris B, and Guy! I have been following them all last year and they have only provided EXTREME value to anyone they came across. In particular, Mari has really helped my business of late (not to mention she’s a fellow San Diegan!) Thanks for the All-Star list. The question remains…which side would win the World Series?
Egbert:
Your question of which team would win is a great one! Who do you feel would win?
