I seemed to have touched a raw nerve the other day with my post to the Australian Blogosphere for a list of "A-List Bloggers". Since the post hit as the same time as the folks attending the MediaConnect forum, it was always going to be interesting.

Mark jibbed, Charles jabbed, Cam feigned, Shane watched, and Paul commentated.

It was awesome to watch this all unfold, and I'm just waiting for Phil, Renai, Rodney and Rob to sink in the boots real soon now ;) It's a good thing I'm out of the country, or they may send 'the boys' round..

Boots....that sounds like something that would require effort. In fact that sounds altogether too much like work. And seeing as I'm at home I'm going to sink a beer instead.

Good on you Franky for "starting something"...

I'm enjoying learning a hell of a lot more about our Aussie part of the Blogosphere!

Interesting to scan the links from this post and read some of the comments. It's clearly a cosy club - even if some of the exchanges are barbed. But as a blogger with a passion to help owners of other-than-IT small business see the potential of blogging to help grow their business, I'm keen to know who is blogging for business outside the charmed circle of journos/IT/media/PR/advertising. And while there are obviously some very stimulating blogs in the above-mentioned circle, I don't see that cutting a lot of ice with people in non-IT manufacturing, retailing, distribution, professional services. I hate having to rely on US or European examples when trying to explain this to Aussie business owners.

Don't stress Frank, it's not the first time I've been discriminated against solely because of my profession and it probably won't be the last.
