How about publishing an OPML? That way people can jus follow the whole list as it evolves. If you do, I will publicize it on my site because BlogBridge supports OPML deeply so I am always looking for good OPMLs to promote!

Fair enough, Duncan.
But may I point out that the so-called A list was never meant to be taken seriously. Mark Jones of the Financial Review and I whipped it up spontaneously after Frank Arrigo (shouldn't he be in there somewhere?) called for an A list of bloggers, but stipulated journalist/bloggers couldn't be included.
It's generous of you to include me in your A-list, but I'm simply not a contender. Mind you, I am having extraordinary success in converting my readers to paid subscriptions, which I do find gratifying.

Duncan, yes, we should chat (I added you to my skype account). I wish I was at that gold coast conference especially because it is so close to me in Brisbane, I could have driven! but alas I found out about it too late.
Thanks for your inclusion of me in this list, I really appreciate the kudos, even if as you say all these A-Lists are exercises in silliness.

Thanks Duncan I have to admit it's a nice feeling as well as an honour to be in your list.Good to see young Yaro in there - he is going great guns and I'm very pleased to see him getting recognition.

Hey thanks to you too Des! Now if only the newspapers and television journalists would take notice. I love to give interviews ;)
Seriously though, Australia is a tiny blimp on the blogging radar so anyone doing anything significant in the blogosphere should get a big pat on the back - that includes you b5media crew.

Is there any reason why there aren't any women on your blog list? I own 3, manage 1 for my husband and 2 for clients and know there are a lot of Australian blogs listed at BlogExplosion. Granted some are purely personal and probably don't get the traffic or interest, but there are some great business blogs out there and ones that make you think - I'm sure mine do!

What an interesting read - and yes - I can't help but feel in a minority sometimes. I've written blogs since August 2004, but lost a few months on an upgrade gone bad!
I write about the technology space I'm in and that leaves me feeling like a solo performer sometimes..
But I did realise that I made a bit of an impression when people offered to pay me money to be on my blogs for a day.... That was cool.
Long live blogs.. it's history in the making. Australia might be a blip in the bucket, but I'm hoping to do my bit to make a difference.
The only thing I felt was a bit uncomfortable was when I met a few new clients, they talk to me like they've known me for years. I found that an unusual experience. Nina Meiers
