Several Agent Genius Writers Awarded
Today, Inman.com released their 2008 version of the 25 Most Influential Bloggers List and features several Agent Genius writers:
- Teresa Boardman– St. Paul, MN
- Kris Berg– San Diego, CA
- Jay Thompson– Phoenix, AZ
- Daniel Rothamel– Charlottesville, VA
- Lani Anglin-Rosales– Austin, TX
Additional Category
We are also proud to announce that with the 25 Most Influential Bloggers list comes the Top 10 International Blogs which names Poppy Dinsey in London, UK. We look forward to the shenanigans of last year (see where I named myself the 26th Most Influential and people thought it was real and Kris made an “Inman Runner Up” badge for her and others to place on their site) and congratulate everyone on the list!
On a related note, Agent Genius announced this week the 127 Most Sphere’d in Real Estate, so check out who’s in the AG Sphere!
Lani is the COO and News Director at The American Genius, has co-authored a book, co-founded BASHH, Austin Digital Jobs, Remote Digital Jobs, and is a seasoned business writer and editorialist with a penchant for the irreverent.

Wow, what a sweet list and it’s about time for some, especially Lani – you’re amazing.
I don’t know about that Poppy girl though… 😉

What a super list, you’re all heroes!
Personally, I’ll be celebrating with an enormous chocolate sundae when I get home from work. Teresa, Kris, Jay, Daniel…I suggest you too celebrate with some sort of fancy dessert.
Lani, you can celebrate by hurting your husband on my behalf :-p

@Poppy – can I substitute an enormous beer for the fancy desert?

Ravi, I heard you were!
@poppyd you vixen…
Jay Thompson

“Ravi, I heard you were!”
Interesting. I heard exactly the same thing!
@Poppy – Thank you. Consider it done.
In all seriousness, congrats to all. Lest we not forget, much of any bloggers “success” comes from the support we get from readers, supporters, and folks like Benn and Lani that provide an additional platform and put up with our quirks.

AG seriously rocks. Being an avid beginner (is that a category?) I have subscribed to most of the sphere’d blogs in hopes of being one myself someday. Keep it up!

Congratulations to you all. Maybe if they would expand the list to the top 50,000 I could make it.

The list is awesome and I’m so happy to see all my AG buds on the list! Maybe I can make a list in the future if it only takes Twitter and Seesmic into consideration. I’m really happy for all of you!
