Yesterday, I listed Twenty Highly Rated Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 Bloggers. Below I provide the next twenty on the list. The inbound links reported by Google and the Technorati ratings and the number of reported blog reactions are provided and they are listed in order of Technorati blog reactions. I used Technorati inbound links for the order since Technorati ratings were not available for all of the bloggers. The Google reports of inbound links were taken today. The Technorati stats were taken a few months ago and the results for both sources are constantly changing so the relative order may have shifted if you look today.
I found these bloggers through a combination of methods. I could have easily missed some. Many are well known. I found other bloggers through Google and Technorati searching on the terms web 2.0 and enterprise 2.0 and noting their stats and who links to them. Since many, like myself, cover both topics I did not attempt to divide them into those two groups (web 2.0 and E 2.0). The numbers are always changing as the web is dynamic. If you know of bloggers on these topics that rate higher than these and those that I listed yesterday, I welcome your input and would appreciate at. However, since ratings generally go up, at least in terms of Google and Technorati inbound links, the ratings for these twenty and those listed yesterday are also likely higher today.
I think the difference between numbers 22 and 24, for example, are not significant because of the dynamic nature of the data. What is important is that these blogs are well read and well respected. I look forward to hearing about other bloggers on web 2.0 and enterprise 2.0 who have this level of traffic and reactions.

Hey Bill its a real pleasure to make this list. I am among some really heavy-hitters. I think you probably need Chris Brogan on here- he is on fire right now

Thanks for including me on the list, Bill. Between this list and the first twenty I have added a number of great new blogs to my reader, and been reminded of some older favourites.

Thanks to each of you above who responded and James thanks for the pointer to Chris brogan. I have taken a look and added him to my larger list where this subset came from, as well as to my own blog roll. I liked his Twelve Ways to Sell Social Media to Your Boss - http://www.chrisbrogan.com/twelve-ways-to-sell-social-media-to-your-boss/. Bill

Alain - Thanks for your additions. ReadWrite Web is in the first 20 I posted yesterday. I am a regular reader of Andrew, his ratings are slightly below these. Kevin Kelly is a new one for me. Bill
