Seven bloggers have been named to The Media 100 (PDF) - Media Magazine's annual list ...

... of the people "to know" in the media world.

They are: Jessica Coen (Gawker), Ana Marie Cox (Wonkette), Nick Denton (Gawker Media), John H. Hideraker and Scott W. Johnson (Powerline), Glen Reynolds (Instapundit) and - believe it or not - me.

Personally, I think others are more deserving than I am - Jeff Jarvis, Dan Gillmor, Jason Calacanis, Henry Copland, etc. - but I would like to thank the editors at MediaPost for this honor. It's great to see so many bloggers making a list that includes such luminaries as Oprah, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, the Google Guys and more. I feel like Forest Gump.
