Are "the best" or "most influential" lists of bloggers a good thing or a bad thing? But in the last month, I've come across three "best of" type women blogger lists. In a recent post on Blogher, Virginia DeBolt mentions the list titled 100 Awesome Webmaster Blogs by and for Women by Jimmy Atkinson.
