Best of Blogs according to Forbes.com

You know blog's have become something big when Forbes.com, the online magazine, not the print magazine (they want you to know that), come up with a listing of the best blogs as part of the Forbes.com Best of The Web.

Forbes.com-ers came up with their picks for the best blogs in 20 different categories including art, autos, blog tools, careers, marketing, media, music, technology, and video games. Of course they had to winnow their picks down from a mountain of well-known and lesser-known titles.

Why take a look and keep looking? Because this online info will be a great resource for readers and marketers looking to focus on quality content in the blogosphere.

For example, in the career category, Forbes.com singled out Monster Blog; in autos Autoblog received a nod; in the Meta Blogs category, Technorati was cited; and in shopping, a blog dubbed Mighty Goods scored a mention. I bet you didn't know any of those even exisited before now. That's what makes something like this helpful. There's a lot of blog's out there, but not alot that you have time for.

"The majority of blogs aren't worth a click, but blogs should not be ignored because they represent a powerful new force in information dissemination and collaboration," said Matt Schifrin, editor of Forbes.com's Best of The Web, in a release.

In the marketing category, we readers will pay particular attention to the fact that Marketing Vox, Ad Rants, and Seth Godin's blog were singled out. But there were also blogs we've never heard of in that category: They are Chris Baggott, Church of the Customer and Duct Tape Marketing. Each listing includes a brief review and a "best" and "worst" line.

Although my blog was not listed, I'll let it go this time... :)

Check out the full report here.

Yeah, I disagree with the Forbes list.

Especially the marketing blogs and other business categories.

Then again, I've been underwhelmed by Forbes altogether lately, and more keen on Business Week and a few of the dwindling number of consistently astonishing, highly valuable marketing blogs out there.
