Robin Good: Influencers are those individuals who have enough reputation, credibilityand expertise to affect your interests and choices. That's a very valuable commercial proposition for marketers. But how do you find these influencers.
Some interesting alternatives are starting to emerge, beyond the popularity-based score-based reputation services as Klout and Peerindex.
Jure Klepic reports on this: “Who are these influencers and how DO we find them?
Is there some way of identifying those people who are connected to a critical mass of easily influenced people?"
The article analyzes some of the shortcomings of the approaches used today, while highlighting some of the new and more interesting services that focus on helping you or your company identify key influencers in a specific niche.
Informative. Useful. 7/10

Social Influencer Sites: How Relevant Are They?

My 2 cents: They matter if you're in social media or marketing, but obsessing about your score is pointless. Focus instead on your social media activity and ENGAGEMENT and score will follow.

Brands are often trying to find someone who has a high social ranking to pass on the brands message. However if there message is given to a person with a high social ranking but has no connection to the brand then there is little point in using them, in fact a brand could get into trouble by doing this and completely miss their target market. For example Justin Beiber has a very high social status with thousand of followers on social media sites such as twitter however I doubt he would be used to advertise Mercedes. It is important to have a market maven who is relevant to your brand, like when ford gave free cars away to those most influential in the auto industry. People are more likely to spend time with people with similar interests and outlooks to them. Happy people are more likely to spend time with other happy people, same as unhappy people surround themselves with unhappy people. This makes it crucial for brands to research who they are using to connect with. Companies may give a message to be passed on, which is then read in a completely different context when said by someone else and therefore wasting resources on people who wont deliver a successful outcome.

I use Tweetadder for this purpose. Store as many tweets I want and tweet them when I want. Retweet whatever accounts I like however often I like. Automatically follow, unfollow and much more. Results are awesome and there are no monthly fees like in other apps..

This piece and infographic is from Adam Vincenzini on his blog.
I selected this article because it's another way for you to find key influencers and these tools will help to narrow your search
Here are some highlights:
Instead of focusing on the subjectivity of this process (and how this insight is deployed) Here's how you can use a combination of free tools to narrow your search.
Where do online influencers operate?
Most popular are: blogs, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Online communities, discussion boards
Assumptions:
**Influencers are active on Twitter **Influencers operate some for of blogging hub
Focus on the intelligence you can glean from Twitter initially then verify this initial sweep with blog (or relevant hub) data
The initial steps involve:
1. Search by keyword 2. Search by location
3 tools useful in the process: The first two you can also search by location:
**followerwonk.com - then run this through another influencer tool - tweetlevel to give it even more relevance (this isn't fool proof) **locafollow.com **twingulate.com
There are more suggestions in this piece having said that:
**No matter how hard we try, a 100% fool proof influence rating is near on impossible because influence is not a science, it can't be.
** this can help narrow things down, significantly

The Personalized Power of Google+ Plus Ones
good effects on plusses.
* recommended posts on the streams
* recommended posts are shown to your circles, but can also be shown to your extended circles
* CTA to add the person to your circle
* last but not least, the posts plussed by your circels will score better in your google search result
=> more than ever, googleplus tries to put people that don't know each other in contact and that's what I love with them compared to Facebook, the simple notion of circle instead of friend : you "connect" instead of "friend"
