Social Media Influencers in 2009.

I came across this through the wonder that is @jmacdonald and think it’s fantastic. I love predictions, because they are just that. Ideas, thoughts, views on the future. They aren’t gospel, no one is going to lose their jobs if their predictions don’t come true (well, actually, 600,000 might in 2009!) but when people / publications / companies of authority speaks out, others listen.
In the embedded slideshare presentation by TrendSpotting below and where the original article can be found here, such figures like Charlene Li, Rohit Bhargava, Jeremiah Owyang and Todd Defren are included, along with many more.

Are there any influencers that you think have been missed out?

Who are your ones to watch in 2009?

    I love that presentation. It’s the one that made me think it’d be a good idea to write a quick blog post about it. 2 hours later it’d turned into this monster list:

    I truly am, king of procrastination. Still, there’s some gems in the list of lists. Twitter features heavily.

    And now, I have dropped the “ex-boss” tag, as the teacher becomes the student…

    You and Jonathan Macdonald… are the glaring omissions!
