Those with the Rank highlighted in Red are contributors to the @aussvMafia site with special mention to @JoshOdgers for taking out a top 20 spot this year. Those not familiar with Aussie vMafia, head (http://aussievmafia.com/) and take advantage of one of the best aggregation sites focused on VMware Vitualization going round. Great to also see three new blogs appear in the list as well.

Personally Virtualization is Life! managed to jump up 128 places from last year to #105 which is a great feeling and a little reward for the work I put into this thing we call blogging…and while I would have liked to crack the Top 100 or Top 50 the list of bloggers that are ranked higher (and lower) shows the extraordinary power of community generated content. There is quality throughout! We are all active and valued members of an extraordinary community. #TopvBlog2015 ps. Please let me know if I’ve left anyone off the list..I worked through the list in quick time so might have left someone out.
