Most Influential Bloggers It’s no secret that here at Most Wanted we’re big fans of fashion blogs.

For those of you into social bookmarking, the best service I have found for a less traditional gender-explorative mind set would be del.icio.us, hands down. Tags like gender, transgender, feminism, and queer pull 58,473; 7,438; 44,493; and 21,378 results each (respectively). The numbers here are much higher than CiteULike, Diigo, or Furl, and the results are more accurate than Digg. I would not recommend Digg to anyone interested in queer, trans, or any gender topic, actually.
