    Croikey. Awesome list mate. Far out.

    Hey I’d love to be on the list for ‘Bloggers and Online Media’. I know there’s some great names on there that I’d be humbled to appear alongside but I’m making a bit of headway when it comes to blogging online (www.nzblogs.co.nz) as well as working for NZS.com to create some sweet tools and guides for people looking to promote their businesses on social media.

    Failing that, add me to the list and I’ll buy you a coffee PLUS muffin.

    Bam!

    Cheers,

    Mark
