Let me introduce the bloggers
who have earned this official badge of achievement,

I invite them to take a badge home to display on their blogs.

They take the conversation to their readers,
contribute great ideas, challenge us, make us better, and make our businesses stronger.

I thank all of our SOBs for thinking what we say is worth passing on.
Good conversation shared can only improve the blogging community.

Should anyone question this badge’s validity, send him or her directly to me. This award comes with a full “Liz said so” guarantee. It is endorsed by Kings of the Hemispheres, Martin and Michael, and backed by my brothers, Angelo and Pasquale.

   Two of your SOBs sit on my blogroll now. And let me announce my policy here: I will look here for new blogs to add to my “100 best blog” as well as in my blogroll.

   Ooooh, thanks so much for this! I love seeing hits from successful-blog.com in my mint stats; it feels oddly like I’m being deemed successful, and it’s quite wonderful

   Ann,
   It is one of the only “up” sides to living insider your computer . . . they find me wandering around. We get talking. Next thing you know, I’m calling them SOBs.

    No Problems Liz.. Even if I don’t drop a comment, I’ll still be reading all your articles. SOB has found a sweet spot in my RSS Reader

    That’s cool, Thilak, because I live inside your computer and it’s nice to get out once in a while.

    Thanks Liz.

    It is really nice to be recognised. I am discovering many new, interesting and informative sites through your blog. Great work.

    Now - any ideas on where to get an extra few hours each day to read them all????

    Hey Trevor,
    Welcome! You’re part of great group and you belong in it. As as the time question goes, I’ve been working on that one myself for quite a while, I’m thinking we need to keep our network tight and talk to each other as much as we can.

    I thought I said this already, but I must have been in the twilight zone.

    Welcome to the new SOBs!

    I’m starting to think you really do live in our computers, Liz, with all the neat blogs you’re able to find.

    ME Strauss said

    Well, Rick,
    To say I’m a Googlebot might be an exaggeration, but . . . I do spend a lot of time inside your computer.

    They are a great bunch of blogs again this week. It’s fun to find them. That’s part of the how and the why of it.

    Boycott Over! Thanks to Everyone, the Face(s) of Caring » Confessions of an Executive Restaurant Recruiter said

    [...] Liz Strauss of Successful ^and Outstanding Blog(gers) - Wow! Liz really answered the call. Jason Alba introduced me to her a few days before I started my breast cancer campaign. Liz is definitely an A list blogger, she knows everyone. She is all about building relationships. And talk about writing, boy can she do that! Check out her blog “Letting me be . . . random wondering and philosophy.” Without Liz, I wouldn’t be blogging now. In fact, I would probably never blog again. She was kind and generous and hooked me into her personal network of friends who pushed us past our goal. Liz even posted (against her own policy) about the boycott on her own site. Thanks Liz, you have no idea how much that meant. And also thanks for awarding me the SOB award. We are hardly worthy, but deeply appreciative.  [...]

    It’s official, this is an award winning blog! » Confessions of an Executive Restaurant Recruiter said

    [...] If you look closely you can see that there is a new section in the sidebar of the blog called “Awards”. It is down at the very bottom, on the left (which by no means should be taken as an indication of its importance.) You will see a badge there and it says S.O.B. and it comes from my friend Liz Strauss at Successful ^and Outstanding Bloggers. We wear it proudly. [...]
