Top 12 DC Area New Media, PR & Marketing Blogs
Looking around Technorati, I found the top ranked new media/pr/marketing blogs in the Greater Washington region. These are ranked by Technorati’s very subjective authority system. We have an A-lister, Chris Abraham, and then a bunch of indies floating between 41-86. Anything below 40 was not listed…
Note 5-21. The list is now 11 due to an error. Alex Rudloff was an Orlando, FL guy.
- Technosailer - 874
- Chris Abraham - 191
- Technosight - 86
- Destination Creation - 67
- Buzz Bin - 59
- Presto Vivace - 56
- Potomac Flacks - 53
- Four Labs - 49
- Maryland Media - 48
- Mike-O-Matic -48
- 21st Century Public Relations - 41
In the new media realm, Technosailer clearly is winning the DC world. Chris is a distant, but very respectable second. Interesting to see two Viget related blogs at #3 + #9. From the PR side of the block, it’s a three-way throw down between us, Presto Vivace & Potomac Flacks.
What amazes me is that there are so many great PR & marketing minds here, but these are the only top-ranked topical blogs in the region. There would likely be additional well ranked blogs based on PR, PA and blogging populations. I attribute this to many of the great minds dedicating their talents to political or social-issue oriented blogging.

Geoff, thanks for the shout-out. Goodness, there is a huge rift between my and Technosailor, a blog I had never heard of before! I am very proud to be on this illustrious list, especially since I am no longer in the top 150 of the Power 150. Many thanks!

It looks like Technorati popped me up to 207, for some strange reason. I am just assuming that you were the guys who popped me over the 200 mark! Thanks for the honor — you’re the first post to have ever referred to me as an A-Lister. Made my month.

Rudloff is based in Orlando, FL. Very good blog, but Florida based.

Technically, my blog (”Technosight”) is not a “Viget” blog. I started it well before I began working there. I give Viget love in a prominent position on the sidebar because I believe in the work we do there and am proud to be a Vigeteer.
Interestingly enough, I was familiar with Technosailor because of an eBook I believe Aaron was previously writing. But until your post, I never knew he was based around D.C. (although, Baltimore is a bit of a stretch).
At first glance, no one would know I am based in the D.C. area either. There needs to be some sort of way to geotag (w/verification) blogs and other websites.
Where exactly in Technorati did you pull this up…or did you look up anyone who tagged their blog with D.C. and then check for those with a PR/new media focus?

You got it. I searched by DC, then PR, Social media, new media and marketing.

To be fair, I still split time between DC and Orlando. I’m just primarily Orlando as of Mid December ;)

Great post, thanks.
I’m curious who you think are the top marketing agencies around DC, who really understand and leverage social media online.
