You know you started an underground movement and paid random people to submit ballots with your blog at the top. You didn’t fool me by giving them all different lists either.

Oh, and congrats ;-)

I suspect at least half of these blogs wouldn’t call themselves “Gen-Y Targeted.” Some started that way, but have since grown, shifted, moved on, etc.

I’m glad that you thought this list was a better list in terms of the overall quality of blogs represented, but one could also argue that there are only 3 new blogs and GREAT blogs like Ben Casnocha’s and Ramit Sethi’s got knocked out of the top 10.

Bottom line is that it’s a hard thing to quantify and put in a box of *these blogs* — As long as we’re highlighting talented bloggers, I’m fine with the approach.

I don’t consider there to be any controversy surrounding the list. Lance has some valid points, but there will always be detractors (and Lance isn’t one). You can’t please everyone, and I won’t try.

And the list is bi-monthly. Keep up the awesome work Angela!

We could probably debate what constitutes this and that forever.

And sure I could make it the top Gen Y Bloggers, but then I leave out great blogs like Bea’s, Penelope’s and others. And maybe the scope gets too big for me to handle? I am embracing the fact that the lines are fuzzy, and I am not concerned as long as I continue to have the opportunity to highlight some really good blogs.

I bet the demographic data on a lot of these blogs is very diverse, but they do all kind of fall into one relatively similar umbrella niche, at least in my opinion (and Dan’s blog and book is technically ‘targeted at’ college students, recent grads and young professionals.)

Thanks for your insight. I love that you never get caught in the “Gen Y Wind Tunnel” and always have valuable advice/comments/insights that cover a large variety of worthwhile topics.

I’ve enjoyed the shift in your last couple of posts, keeps me on my toes. I’ll be on the look out for the other changes you speak of.

I’m so glad we connected. I always love running ideas by you and getting inspiration from you. Can’t wait to watch your interview with Jun.
