Ever since yesterday’s twitter training by marketing team member Lesley, thoughts of microblogging have roamed my mind, leaving trails of question marks. How will twitter evolve? Is its popularity a sign of future success, or just hype? Is it the way forward? Will it become a marketing platform? Says who? How might affiliates capitalize on this? What does this mean for affiliate networks and software providers? How many characters does one need?

As I sat down to find and review the next BAMroll-worthy blogs, I noticed a few affiliate marketers who are exploring similar territory. A little bird said I should add them to the BAMroll.

• Dean Hunt likes bunnies, and also buzz. That’s why his latest posts featured twitter, tweetdeck and facebook. He doesn’t apologize for not having time for you. If you like this in-your-face attitude, you can read humourous accounts of his life as an affiliate marketer. If  you really like this in-your-face attitude, he’s hiring!
• Rich Schefren always ends up empowering affiliate marketers. His vehicles for doing so are unexpected and entertaining, and full of take-home-messages. For example, a retelling of his wife’s parking job carries insight on the importance of developing intuition. He also writes about twitter, and thinks you should too.

As always, you can download the OPML file on the BAMroll page to get automatic updates of BAMrollers. And don’t forget your badge!

This week’s additions to our BAMroll have something in common beyond the interest in connecting people, ideas, and profit—these are what bring all BAMrollers together.

This is the second Thursday since Share Results began celebrating of the Best Affiliate Marketing blogs. That’s right, it’s BAMroll time. For those who haven’t tuned in since last Thursday, you should know that there are 21 blogs that are on the list so far, and many more to come. This OPML file will keep you up to date. For those who have had the pleasure of gaining insight from the BAMblogs, here are the next ones:

For those of you who are on the BAMroll, don’t forget to grab one, two, or six badges of your choice.

So we’ve decided to celebrate the affiliate marketing community, and thought that the best way to do that was to celebrate affiliate marketers who are active in the community. And in the age of social media, one the best ways to contribute to an online community is by blogging. After all, blog content is interactive and shareable.

And with that, Share Results has decided to give the affiliate marketing community the — or what we like to call the Big Affiliate Marketing Blogroll – or BAMroll. This is going to be a list of affiliate marketing bloggers that’s updated every week. We’ll also be offering a badges to anyone who makes the list, and an OPML file to anyone who wants to subscribe to every blog on the list. Both the list and the OPML file will be updated every week.

Without further ado, here is the inaugural list of 21 affiliate marketing bloggers. If you want to know more these blogs, or about how the list is compiled, check out the BAMroll page.
