Documenting power users and influencers in social media has been a lot of fun so far, and I am glad to be writing part 3 in this series.

What I am not trying to do is “rank” these people in numbered lists, as that is the antithesis of what I hope you will learn from these posts. Instead, these are people who are using social communications tools in exciting and positive ways - people who you should follow and study to learn how they share ideas and what makes them ultra-successful communicators.

Also, instead of compiling one comprehensive, tremendous list with just a line or two about each person, I am presenting just a few at a time and in greater detail to help introduce them to you in a more useful format.

If you’re new here, please start by reading the first two parts as they provide the full context for this series:

As such, it is prudent to learn what others have done/are doing successfully at the edge. Studying how social media power users (or influencers, same thing) create and share information, ideas and trends with the world and their interactions with their carefully built networks is vital to becoming one yourself.
