Tooting Our Own Horn

We’re going off-base a bit this week and writing a blog article that toots our own horn.  We don’t write blog posts about ourselves very often.  However, we have done some good lately and would love to share our accomplishments with you.

We can raise our glasses and cheers together as good friends often do.  We’d also like to take this time to thank all of our readers and supporters.  We couldn’t accomplish any of this without you.  So, hat’s off to you, our readers and let’s toast to you as well!

1. Social Media Examiner’s Top Ten Social Media Blogs of 2012

First of all, thank you to everyone who nominated us for this award.  We never thought in a billion years we would receive a nomination, yet we received several.  Thank you!!  To top it off, we made the finalists!!  There were 570 nominations for Top 10 Social Media Blogs of 2012 and we made the Top 20 Social Media Blogs of 2012 Finalists list.  Wow.  We were super excited, to say the least.  We didn’t make the final 10 list, but we still made the top 20 out of 570 nominations, so we are extremely thrilled.  One aspect of the judging was frequency of posts.  We had a surgery on the team during the judging period and our posts did slow down.  Was it a driving factor?  We aren’t sure, but that’s okay.  We accomplished much and it feels great to be loved.  Thank you, again, to all of our readers, fans, and supporters!

2. WE Magazine’s 2012 Top 100 Women in Ecommerce
