It’s that time again. Storage Monkeys is a running a contest for the Top 10 Vendor Blogs, and once again, Online Storage Optimization is a nominee! Even more exciting, this blogger is listed on there, making it the only entrant with a woman blogger. Not to play the gender card or anything, but to me this is good news for the industry. And no doubt next year, there will be even more diversity represented in the list.
Here’s the full list of blogs that have been nominated. It really is an honor to be listed among these top bloggers such as Stephen Foskett, Marc Farley, Vaughn Stewart, Mark Twomey, Chuck Hollis, Hu Yoshida and so on. If you think there are some they’ve missed, it’s not too late to put a suggestion in the comments field at the bottom of the page. Note: you must be a member of Storage Monkeys to vote. Which, quite frankly, you should already be–this is a fantastic community site for sharing tips, information and opinions about storage.
