NeverMind Awards 2011 – Top 100
Congratulations to the winners: Daniel Pink for best blog and Tanveer Naseer for best designed blog.
Here is the list of Top 100 leadership blog. It was a close race, and it was interesting to see how the rankings changed as I kept registering new blogs. A new entry can change the overall ranking as they can steal points and reward others depending on their individual specific rankings.
The core score is generated from a formula that create a score based on Alexa ranking, Google PageRank, (Some secret searchresults) and fans in social media.
There is a second score rating with my personal opinion in two factors; Score for design and Score for my all over likings. These two only have minor impact as the numeric hard facts is counting for about 80 % of the total score.
I hope you enjoy my list…

Thanks Phil. I discovered a lot of great blogs making this list, so there is a lot of reading these days. I am currently working on scripting a code that will gather some data for me, making it easier to repeat this list in a year, instead of manual labour. (That took some time...) Giving me a chance to keep including blogs making the list even better... but I often find good blogs with few readers, so I am considering including a rule to automatically exclude the top 10 winners for next years list??!? just a thought as the big guys get plenty of attention anyhow... Would be nice to find a way to help good new blogs up and away. Maybe some kind of newcomer list? I have plenty of time to think... :)

LikeGreat Steve! That is the best way to use this list! I found some good blogs myself as I was searching all over the web for great blogs. It was fun to make and I got to use some of my old rusty php coding skills.
