We are list fans, so when BuddyGuard released a ranking in homage to today’s most influential voices in tech journalism and expertise, we just had to see it. Technological titans such as Guy Kawasaki - a Tech Evangelist and authoritative Keynote Speaker/Writer - and Kara Swisher - Co-Founder of technology news site Recode - tops the list, which included as many specialists from across the globe as possible. Four of the top five are influential journalists.
According to BuddyGuard, In order to rank the influencers, multiple factors were taken into account, including Vuelio media score, Klear True Reach and number of followers across various media, besides other indicators of authority. These were factored in to calculate influence levels into the following categories; Social Media Presence, Influence via Media, Online Reach and Physical Presence in Field.
The top 5 influencers from BuddyGuard’s ranking can be seen below:
