Must Read Dark Horse Social Media Blogs
Social inclusion to feel more confident*
While there are some social media authority blogs already out there for ages, I noticed that there are many unappreciated social media blogs as well.
So I want to share these dark horse social media blogs that are really a must read in no particular order:
- Social Desire - Do I really have to introduce Shana here? Just read this.
- Social Media Mom - Truly nurturing her audience, the social media mom.
- Dawud Miracle - This guy miraculously found a way into my already crowded mind
- Social Media Trader - This blogs stands out because of the sheer quality content it offers
- Social News Watch - SNW also looks behind the scenes and uncovers aspects others ignore
- Collective Thoughts - Social Media Thinking - This is my collective of social media blogging giants, I'm the only dwarf there. They are all gargantuan.
- SEO Consulting Blog - SEO Smarty - She calls herself SEO to scare off the faint of heart but she writes about social media as if she was born at MySpace
I have to admit I rather read these social media blogs than the old authority ones: I don't want to say that they are stale it's just that I always preferred the vanguard.
What other social media blogs do you read?

Haha, Tad! Thanks for the link!
Btw, the fact that I am writing about social media doesn’t mean that I can’t be an SEO at the same time :)
Your blog is the main one I keep up with. However, I do browse around other sites now again. I do use to CLIQ tool to get to other posts too!
Thank you so much for the mention, Tad. I’m thrilled your find my Social Media blog a must read!! :-)
Shana
Funny you should write about Maki’s shift in focus. I’m somewhat new to his site and his content doesn’t match the usual make money online sort of content (this is a good thing). He should update his tagline even if the social media stuff ultimately leads to a bigger check.
LOL Tad,
I guess with four kids, I’ve learned how to nurture something. Thank you so much for the link.
A niche I’m going to try and spend less time writing about the subject ;) – Good list of blogs
Nothing dwarf like about YOUR writing pal. You rock.

Don’t forget to include yourself on that list Tad.
Great list and I will be checking all of them out. Thank you.
Thanks! im subscribed to a few already, but I need to read up on the others…
BTW Maki, congrats on hitting 10,000!
I tend to like Conversation Agent, Logic + Emotion, and Chris Brogan. Skellie isn’t social media specific, but her design is pretty amazing.
Yours, Tad. Thanks for all these links. I had no idea about any of them. Just what I need. More feeds.
Thanks for the mention, Tad. I’ve been writing about social media for months already… just didn’t bother to change the blog title.. which I’ve recently done.
The next one to fix is the tagline..
BTW nice list of blogs!
Thanks everybody. I’m too busy to really reply :-/, but this is enough praise for a follow up “Why everybody loves Me” ;-)
Great List! Thanks for putting this together!

You know what’s funny? I already read most of your new social media blogs, but didn’t know if ANY of those authority ones exited. ;)
