Voting Closed – Top 40 Innovation Bloggers of 2013
VOTING CLOSES SOON for the Top 40 Innovation Bloggers of 2013.
Voting is coming in fast and furious, but time will run out soon for authors to get more points by submitting great new articles and for you the readers to vote on the web site, facebook, twitter, and Linkedin.
Our lists from the three previous years have been tremendously popular:
Top 40 Innovation Bloggers of 2010 (download the PDF)
Top 40 Innovation Bloggers of 2011 (download the PDF)
Top 40 Innovation Bloggers of 2012 (download the PDF)
So, get your votes in and help pick the Top 40 Innovation Bloggers of 2013.
People who vote for someone will be entered into the prize drawings for a range of great prizes (we’ll add more prizes here as event organizers and others offer them up), including:
- Conference Tickets – events TBD (why not yours?)
- Two (2) one-year subscriptions to our very affordable Innovation Excellence Research offering – $300 per person per year value (each)
- Two (2) signed copies of the five-star book – Stoking Your Innovation Bonfire by Braden Kelley – priceless
- Two (2) copies of How Stella Saved the Farm by Chris Trimble and Vijay Govindarajan- $19.99 value each
- More prizes TBD

The deadline for submitting votes is December 31, 2013 at midnight GMT.
The ranking will be done by me with influence from votes and nominations. The quality and quantity of contributions to Innovation Excellence by an author will be a BIG contributing factor (through the end of the voting period), so there is still time for authors and bloggers to make their first (or your best) contribution to Innovation Excellence yet. To contribute to Innovation Excellence, simply:
- Join the community
- Click on the ‘Add Content’ option in the site’s main menu and log in with the same username and password you used to create your account
You can vote in any of these four ways (and each earns points for them, so please feel free to vote all four ways):
- Sending us the name of the blogger by @reply on twitter to @ixchat
- Adding the name of the blogger to the comments below
- Adding the name of the blogger as a comment to this article’s posting on Facebook
- Adding the name of the blogger as a comment to this article’s posting in our Linkedin Group (20,500+ members)
The official Top 40 Innovation Bloggers of 2013 and the contest winners will then be announced on Innovation Excellence on January 2, 2014.
We’re curious to see who you think is worth reading.
