Neat twist on the year-end list - list of the top lists

Gary Hayes' A Top 25 List of Social Media, Web 2.0 & Marketing ‘Best-Of-Lists!’ made me smile and wish I'd thought of it first.

It certainly is a shortcut in terms of cutting through the clutter faster.

There's a strong slant to media, social media but there's a ton of good marketing links and information here too to cross-reference for your own projects. So credit due to Gary. There's an Australian slant to his window on things which is also interesting to me, living on down here and working internationally on a virtual constant basis.

While we're on lists, some more annual summary lists to share around -
