StartUp Spark one of the top 100 Business Blogs

John Crickett compiled a “The Top 100 Business Blogs” list and StartUp Spark has made the list at number 55.

So how did we make the grade?

Here’s what John had to say:

I define a Business blog as one that provides business ideas, advice, commentary or feedback on business in general. I’ve excluded any site that I feel is primarily a news based site or that is merely posting content from other sources. I’ve also excluded sites that are too new or have not been updated for over a month.

The blogs are listed in order of their Technorati rankings (T), their Alexa rankings (A) are show as well. The rankings are correct at the time of posting. Here’s the complete list:
