Each of these blogs excel in presentation and style. They cater to each target market and prove to guide a reader the way they feel they need to be lead to invest more time reading. These blogs have excellent content that is pertinent to the type of reader each is seeking to reach. Eight of these ten blogs were also listed on many research sites top ten blogging sites that judge on style, content, ease of use, and professionalism. After reviewing each blog in many of these research sites, I chose the ones I felt were the best as well as a couple of my own and ranked them accordingly. I also judged on the criteria described above but with my own discretion and opinion.
I find it interesting that each of these companies that you, and others, have ranked so high on "Best Blog" lists are extremely successful and profitable companies. It seems that as technology and blogs evolve, these popular and successful companies have to adapt in order to maintain their standing in the market by becoming innovators in that technology; in this case blogs. There seems to be a correlation between success and the company's ability to adapt to the evolution of technology. Although the development of a good blog may not always equal success within the corporation, it certainly seems that those companies who are able to utilize blogs in the "best" and most innovative ways tend to reflect success in the long-run.
