New Media Wins Again!

28 01 2008

I have a confession. I stole the headline for this blog entry from Cheryl Snapp Conner, managing partner at SnappConner PR. In a blog post earlier today, Cheryl wrote:

“Clearly, social networking is a force today’s PR professionals can no longer afford to ignore.”

We couldn’t agree more. Cheryl’s comment was a reaction to the MSPmentor 100, our new research report. The MSPmentor 100 identifies the world’s most progressive managed service providers. Cheryl noted that the entire project was conducted online, using our MSPmentor.net Web site, peer social networks and Web 2.0 survey tools.

As a result, we weren’t limited by national borders, or print magazine subscriber lists. Don’t get us wrong: There’s still value in print circulation lists. We just prefer the Web 2.0 world, where readership truly is global.

Skeptical? Managed Service Providers from New Hampshire to The Netherlands are celebrating their position on the MSPmentor 100. (Here’s a map displaying all of the MSPmentor 100 honorees.)

Take a look at the MSPmentor 100. We’d welcome your feedback, because we’re already hard at work on additional reports for both MSPmentor and its sister Web site, The VAR Guy.
