Caveats  & Footnotes:
a. What constitutes a planning blog is a slippery notion. For the purposes of the above chart, I have defined it as a blog about advertising, planning and/or communications written by a planner/strategist - with a stress on both conditions being met.
b. The above rankings have been arrived purely on basis of Technorati authority and rankings. There may be better ways of arriving at the ranking and I am open to suggestions/ideas - please comment below.
c. The plannersphere universe I have considered in arriving at the above chart is based on this master list which itself was/is derived from the Plannersphere wiki.
d. There may be omissions not just in the above chart but in my master list - please leave a comment below if you want a blog to be added/considered in the next edition.
