Best Blogs For Marketing and Media.

I have a hard time with these lists. They're great for discovery. I always learn about sites I didn't know of. But often, sites I think belong in brighter spotlights are often neglected and that is frustrating.

What usually gets me is that the definition of what sites qualify feels too arbitrary. What is a blog? The word has so many meanings now. Are purely personal sites counted or are some of the daily news sites built on blogging platforms still blogs even if they're really more like mass media.
And what is is enough to define something as media and marketing focused? That too makes me wonder.

On that list a lot of sites I frequently visit were missing. Gigaom is a great news site that often focuses on media but it wasn't there. By traffic it's a serious site. Metue is another one, much newer, but with a focus and media entertainment and technology. It has had some interesting articles on marketing and has a lens on media. It's probably too young to be there yet but would it apply if its rankings were higher?

Tech Crunch and similar sites fit in one category but there's so wide a range between pure news coverage sites and the thousands of other sites out there that have a business or technology focus or mix news and opinion.

I'm all for lists of interesting sites but when quantifiers come out to calculate "top" or the "best" it gets ugly. If they called it "our favorite high traffic sites" that would be one thing but the best. that's silliness. Maybe David Letterman can do a top ten list of reasons why he hates top ten lists.
