Here is a list of 20 bloggers that are important voices in the web 2.0 and enterprise 2.0 market. The inbound links and Technorati data are provided and they are listed in order of blog reactions reported by Technorati. There is a wide range here. The statistics here will continue to evolve for each blog. These stats were taken a few months ago and will continue to evolve. I am not saying these are necessarily my favorites, although I respect them all, these writers command the numbers. Let me know if I left off a higher rated web 2.0 blogger (by these three stats) than these twenty below. I have listed multiple authors in some cases. There may be a few others that have multiple authors. Yesterday I reported on a list of top 100 analysts blogs by Technobabble. Number one on that list, Jeremiah Owyang just missed this list with 8,627 blog reactions from Technorati when I did the numbers.
