Mindtouch compiled a ranking of the most influential bloggers in technical communication, and several STC members appear on the list! According to Mindtouch, “Our Most Influential Blogger (MIB) formula consists of a weighted average across a range of metrics including Alexa, Klout Influence, Google Page Rank, Technorati Authority, and Twitter Followers.”
We checked the listing against the STC membership database and found ten members from the list, including the top four and five of the top six. Congratulations to the following STC members, in order of their influence ranking:
RJ Jacquez
Tom Johnson
Scott Abel
Sarah O’Keefe
Anne Gentle

I was in the Honorable Mention list. Congratulations to all those who made the Top 25 list!
With such a reliance on Twitter metrics, I’ve come the realization that I may be doing it all wrong…. http://bit.ly/d426wc
