Here is how John defined his list:
"I define a Business blog as one that provides business ideas, advice, commentary or feedback on business in general. I’ve excluded any site that I feel is primarily a news based site or that is merely posting content from other sources. I’ve also excluded sites that are too new or have not been updated for over a month."

I saw that xTrain.com has an online training course on social media, does anyone know of any others like this?

Hi Chris, Fantastic!
Now that makes 4 of us from Northeast Ohio on the Top 100 Business blog list!
You, Small Business trends, Buzzoodle, and myself.
Congrats.

Thanks for accepting the challenge. Hey, you're in Cleveland! I didn't realize you were local -- I'm just 40 some minutes south in Hudson.
