“Never underestimate the power of a small group of dedicated people to change the world. Indeed, it’s all that ever have.â€
by Margaret Mead
The Z-list is the embodiment of this quote.

Thanks C. B. Whittemore, Tim, Robyn, Becky and Doug. I think the Z list has been a great link building exercise and I hope you've all experienced a jump in traffic as a result.
Thank for the mention and best of luck. It's taken a lot of hard work and getting recognition like this is so appreciated. Thanks, Again!
Thanks for keeping the Z-list going and for including the images and CustomersRock! I left the corporate world a little over a year ago to venture out, and I haven't looked back. Blogging has definitely opened my eyes to a whole new world out there as well. Good luck with it, and keep us all posted!
Thanks Alex. I'm a big fan of your podcast - it certainly inspired me, when I first started freelancing, about creating your own opportunities.
Matt.
Matt good to see another standard-bearer for business blogging marching forth to face those advertising dinosaurs.
I developed a distaste for corporate life at the end of 2004 and haven't looked back since. I hope 2007 is a great year for you and for all of us and for the revolution ;)
In fact I see you have random images, and they could all be optimised for web without losing quality of appearance.
Keep up the good writing.
One small point, that header image you use - showing the laptop and pad, when I visit your site it always takes longer than it should to download.
You can easily optimise this image for the web so that it appears instantly rather than appearing from top to bottom as your readers download it.
At the same time it'll speed up your site. Let me know if you'd like any help, and all the best for 2007.
Hi Matt, many of us are new to this amazing genre of blogging. I, too, began because I wanted to learn to be a blogger and to share some of my expertise with others. Keep growing and learning in 2007! All the best.
2006 was a defining time in my life. Many changes have occurred for me. I would say that the realization that 'being a cog in the corporate machine' was an idea I was familiar with but last year was the year I decided to do something about it.
Also, thanks for linking to Live Your Best Life.
All the best,
Tim
