Bloggers Digest - 12/28/2007

This will be the last Bloggers Digest of 2007, (although it feels like we just got started). There's no shortage of "Top [Insert Topic Here] Blog Posts of 2007" in the blogosphere - and even some roundups of the Top Top Lists! So this week I'm posting my favorite 2007-roundups (wearing my ecommerce marketer hat of course!) and a couple other interesting posts to chew on for the weekend.

My Favorite Top Post Roundups of 2007:

• TwistImage called on some big names to contribute their favorite short videos of the year. Entertaining!
• Lee Odden from TopRankBlog recaps the best of his blog this year.
• Shana Albert from SocialDesire provides a killer list of 51 social media marketing posts from Twitter to Stumbleupon and much in between.
• Techipedia must have one heckuva feed reader to compile this enormous list of social media marketing artilces.
• GrokDotCom provides a month-by-month recap of great content with This Year in Blogs - The Definitive Marketing Posts of 2007 - someone planned ahead!
• Problogger has a month-by-month breakdown too of its own posts. Lots of gems in there.
• Copyblogger has a similar top post roundup.
• For all you design-types, BestWebGallery shares its favorite CSS web design submissions of the year.
• Rohit Bhargava has a unique and forward-thinking roundup Top 10 Most Underappreciated Metrics to Track in 2008.

• Okay, this was written in July and is technically not a roundup of posts, but Matt from EcommerceOptimization provides a list of ecommerce blogs that we all can enjoy.

Other notables this week:

RSS Feeds

• Still stumped by what RSS is and what it can do for you? This is a Really Simple Summary of RSS to help you out.

Email Marketing

  . Both interesting reads.

Funny

• Rebecca Kelley gives us a peek into the SEOmoz referral keywords for November. Some of them will shock and surprise you. They all made me laugh.
