Of course big following by itself is not a sufficient parameter for identifying influential networkers. Influence is also measured by the quality and quantity of responses triggered as a result of calls to actions executed by influencer.

According to Fast Company, I am among 1% of the most influential people on the Internet in 2010.

So let me share with you a few ideas that will help you to get attention of the influencers

One of the pain points that makes cringe even social network aficionados, is the constant tampering with privacy policy and terms of use. Of course social networks don’t call it tampering, they just call it “changing” – hey it’s their companies so they do what they want.

But the truth is many users feel betrayed since the final product they observe now, and the way the companies treat their private data is a far cry from what people agreed to when they sign up to get an account a few years ago.

Who is Twitterati?

April 13, 2010

I’m not sure about the origin of this world. But even if one can assume that this term originated at alltop.com, it obviously over-grown the barriers of any particular site and became a noun in English language, just like “Google”.

Everybody sort of understands the meaning of this word yet it remains amazingly vague.

So, what criteria could be used to define this elusive term?

I am not going to drop names here but there are quite a few celebrities with 1,000,000+ followers who only follow a handful of people. Many twitterers agree that their tweets are worthless. Yet people continue to follow them out of curiosity. It doesn’t mean however that their influence is very strong.

Sure, there are @techcrunch and @mashable, each with over 1,000,000 followers. Both are very worth following. But on each TechCrunch there are hundreds of celebrities and buffoons whose tweets are absolutely useless.

On another hand, there is @GuyKawasaki who doesn’t have 1,000,000 followers yet. But his influence is much bigger on social networks than that of many celebrities.

So the social influence is not a question of a followers-to-friends ratio, rather it’s ameasurement of reach and engagement.
