List of the top 100 Twitter influencers in Australia

Ross Dawson, May 31, 2011 at 10:10 am

One of the key facets of the rise of the reputation economy is that reputation and influence can increasingly be measured. The rise of tools that measure people’s influence in social media channels, such as PeerIndex, Klout, and Twitter Grader, is just the beginning of a far broader shift to metrics of influence and reputation.

We have compiled a list of the most influential people in Australia on Twitter as measured by PeerIndex, which is based on a combination of authority, activity, and audience. Follow the link for the original list, or you can see the top 100 as of today below. Problogger Darren Rowse is at the top, and our Prime Minister Julia Gillard in 100th place. I come in second place on the list, driven in particular by the measurement of my authority. Of course the list could be quite different as judged by other influence engines.

Note that the list does NOT include entertainment related profiles (such as Justin Bieber fan JDBaustralia and Melbourne-based Filipino TV star Jasmine Curtis-Smith), corporate accounts, or media accounts such as ABCNews.
[NOTE:] If you are in Australia, have a PeerIndex score of 50 or more, and are not on the Australia list on PeerIndex, email us at oztwitter [AT] ahtgroup [DOT] com and we’ll add you to the list (or even easier, click on ‘Suggest someone’ on the top right of the PeerIndex page).

The full list is below.

[UPDATE:] I have taken out the original image and replaced it with a continuously updated embed from PeerIndex. Already close to 20 people who were missing from the original list have been added.

Great list! I was thinking of putting one together myself. Did you realize that that there is an embed option on PeerIndex lists along with a suggest feature?

Tweet hard and tweet often (or something like that – check the PeerIndex FAQ) and you will rise!!

http://simoncast.blogspot.com Simon Cast

Tweet well! Tweeting stuff that produces a strong response from the community is the best way to grow your PeerIndex. Of course spamming URLs will get you punished

Good to see Australians doing well on PeerIndex. I do suggest encouraging everyone to register as that will give a much better reckoning.

Although your additions pushed me down the list and out of the top 100, I think this is more indicative of influence. I still appreciate the inclusion
