Making Z-List and Checking It Twice

Posted on Sunday, December 24, 2006 by Frank Roche

I saw a reference to the Z-List meme on Seth’s Blog titled What to Read Now/Next. It’s a little experiment in the interpenetrating network of great writing and writers – and it’s a way to discover new things. I read over 100 blogs a day through RSS on Google Reader. This Z-List meme is going to add a lot more to my list, and my life is going to be all the richer for it.

The trick is to pick up this list from here and add your blog to the bottom along with a few more Z-List links that you think people should know about. I copied the list from Seth by grabbing links in the page source…you can do the same. KnowHR is added to the bottom along with a few more that I thought would be fun to have on Z-List (add Pepe LePew accent here).

  2. [...] How did I find KnowHR? I don’t remember now.

  3. [...] Picked this up at KnowHR who picked it up from Seth Godin. It’s a list meme called the z-list (zee in the U.S., zed in Canada). Grab a copy of the list, add your blog and a few other worthies at the bottom and along the way, discover some new blog reading —with a little link-baiting thrown in. [...]

  4. [...] Ok, I am going to build upon the z-list meme. Hopefully my modification will be seen as acceptable. I have modified the zlist to shorten it to management related blogs. I was added to one with: Making Z-List and Checking It Twice. I don’t really see how Seth’s blog is a “z-list blog” [more like a-list] but it is the first place I saw the a z-list and knowHR included it and it is excellent so I included it. [...]
