Thanks for the response, John. Sounds like you have it down and we'll just have to do more to climb the list!

Brent- Thanks for commenting. First, let me say that the ranking is no doubt biased by my criteria as is any ranking. The correct formula for determining influence is completely debatable and I encourage anyone to come up with an alternate list (remember that I only did this because I was trying to find people relevant to what I do, so I would love for someone to create another list that has suggestions).

The relevance factor was determined by using several iterations recording data of a "seed set" of users to flush out more users by observing who the seed set was following (the eventual data set was 44,000 observations) I then took the most followed among this resulting group (call them the VIPs for lack of a better term) and observed who they were following. So the relevance rank is based on how many of the VIPs are following you.

Again, I created the criteria based on what makes sense to me and I am more than willing to admit that it could be improved.

But thanks for reading. Great work on making the list in the first place. Your social media strategy is working!

By the way, I just looked a the raw data and very impressed by the time John took to organize! Just out of curiosity, did you include any operators in your analysis? Our followers are a mix of investors and property management folks - maybe that's why our "relevance" was relatively low? (We have very few "fluff" followers - i.e., we have not used the account to follow any non-multifamily people to get follow-backs) In our niche specifically, our followers tend to be extremely targeted, so I was surprised by the relevancy figure...

Thanks again, John!

John - First of all, I think you've got a great site, and this list is fantastic. It's helped me connect with some people I didn't otherwise know were on twitter.

I think I tend to disagree with Joe Stampone; I use twitter as the RSS feed on my news site (as I think many media companies will ... or should) and therefore only use it as a "social media" when it involves DM or RT. My two cents anyway - I love this ranking system as is!

Anyway, I really appreciated being on here and will reference this in my daily e-dition tomorrow. Thanks John!

John - Nice list. What were your starting criteria for those who were included? I'm glad I found the list, as it has given me the chance to discover your blog and a few people in RE that I wasn't aware of. I'm looking forward to following you and your material in the future.

Regards,
Josh

Joe - Thanks for the comment. Good point. You know of course that now you are really challenging the technical skills of someone that is lucky to know how to run a wordpress blog. But thanks for commenting and hope you stop back.

Thanks for including @BigBuilder on this super comprehensive list! We've found Twitter to be a fantastic tool to deliver breaking and daily news and to engage with new sources. Hopefully we'll have moved up the ranks the next time you do your analysis!

John, thanks for compiling this list and thanks for including me. You've taken a great initiative. What would be nice to see included in a future ranking is a measure of conversation. This can be done by a count of @replies and who those @replies come from. The purpose of social media is to be social and excluding such a measurement distorts the credibility of the rankings. Thanks again, this is an awesome list.
