Question ID: 249277
We're researching business bloggers around the world who write about
e-business (internet, mobile, interactive tv). Mobile / Commercial /
Operational focused ones rather than technology ones.

What I'd like is a list of 30 blogs which you think are relevant. For
each one I'd like:
- URL of site
- Very brief description of topics typically covered and target
readers
- Alexa ranking (or other measure of popularity/traffic the blog gets)
- Country in which blogger is based

We're interested in talking to these guys about them providing links
to our site which is a UK-focused e-business resource
(www.e-consultancy.com) and geting commissions on subsequent
subscribers. Whether or not they'd be interested in this is a separate
question but this might help you in choosing the ones that'll be of
most interest to us.

We'd like you to use your judgement to pick the most relevant, best,
most credible and most popular ones.

topic scope.  Most don't explicitly say who they're reaching.

Please excuse the botched formatting on the first few of them.  I
don't quite know how that happened.
