Top 10 Marketing & Tech. Articles for 2009

Every few days, I scan a select number of marketing and technology blogs and news sites for interesting articles.  These articles (I believe) highlight the latest-and-greatest in marketing news, technologies, insights and methodologies. 

When I come across an interesting article, I bookmark the article in Delicious (a social bookmarking service that allows users to tag, save, manage and share web pages).  Then --via the power of RSS-- I re-broadcast the recent articles I've selected on my blog, my website and various other social networking sites I have set up.

Here's the link to Ex3 Cafe Delicious site which contains all of the bookmarks I've saved to-date:  http://delicious.com/Ex3Cafe.  To take things a step further, I've listed the articles from the Ex3 Cafe Delicious site most bookmarked by other Delicious users:

• #10:  Social Media Marketers Declare Success

• #09:  Executives and Social Media

• #08:  Marketers Embrace Twitter over Facebook

• #07:  US Twitter Usage Surpasses Earlier Estimates

• #06:  Banner Ads: Beyond the Click

• #05:  How People Share Online Video

• #04:  Who Uses Social Networks?

• #03:  Using Social Media Strategically

• #02:  The Social Data Revolution(s)

• #01:  Social Network Marketing Expands Sphere

Surprise, surprise.... social networking is in all but one of the articles above.

Now, let me be the first to say that this poll is in no way scientific.  I think it does give us a glimpse though into what the hot marketing topic was for 2009.  It will be interesting to see what the hot marketing topic is a year from now.

P.S.
Being that this will be my last blog post for 2009, I want to wish all of you a happy, healthy and effective/efficient marketing New Year.
