And the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009 are…

This post is to congratulate the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009. They have emerged! 4 of my bets got into the list based on the entry I submitted. Reading Ms. Janette Toral’s observations for this year’s project, I cannot agree more! Blogging is for everybody (rich or poor, with or without your own PC, with or without HTML/CSS knowledge, young or not-so-young), as long as you can write, then blog. And the most important value that everyone can benefit from blogging is camaraderie. This is evident with the Jedi Bloggers namely Jan, Roy, Doc Z and others, with continued support for each other, they were able to influence and inspire not only their own circle but other people in the blogosphere as well. No labels, no namecallings, no judgments… let’s make the blogosphere a healthy and inspiring community.

Updated version of Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009

I already made my Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009 weeks ago, but one entry was disqualified because I overlooked Jehan’s blog. She started blogging on March 2008, 2 months ahead of the qualifications to be able to included in the list. My apologies to Jehan, I felt guilty after reading her “Thank you post” but I’m still a fan of her writing. She already is influential, especially to her Korean-based blog community.

To complete my list, the talented doctor-slash-poet Doc Z of Zorlone enters the Top 10. I’ve known Doc Z and his blog through a small plurk conversation and now we’re plurk buddies. Had I discovered his poetry for a longer time, I’m pretty sure he’s already included on my first Top 10. He is influential indeed, he’s backed up by two influential bloggers on my list too, Kuya Roy of The Struggling Blogger and Jan of Writing to Exhale. Here’s what they have to say:

And I thought I won’t be able to join this writing project by Ms. Janette Toral. When I started blogging, I only want to document my travels and food trips, later on, this blog became a smorgasbord of some sorts aka “chopsuey”. Nevertheless, through this blog I have gained blogging friends and people whose blogs I frequently visit because I love their photos, I like reading their travel stories and I enjoy reading their mind-stimulating entries.

Here are my nominees for the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009:
