What Twitter tells us about Social Media experts and consultants
Marshall Kirkpatrickidentified 7 social media consultantsthat deliver tangible value. There are some great folks in the list and for sure, there are several more that do add tangible value to their clients. In fact according to ourTwitter analytics on BuzzGain, there about 1.2 Million user accounts.
This includes accounts that have been registered, and have at least 1 friend on Twitter. Of these there are about 14,533 that have the word social in their bio of those about 5,212 that blog about social media, social networking and web 2.0 in general. This list includes people that have an overall marketing (SEO, SEM, brand marketing, etc.) focus, but have an interest in social media.
So in a list of about 5,000 picking 7 is difficult or so you would think. But our initial analysis only rounds up about 25 bloggers who are the experts in social media and related areas. So then again, its a wide ocean, but a few big fish.
