It’s data overload this month as we present three (count ‘em) tables listing the various #MRX Twinfluentials we’ve identified with our partners Dollywagon.
It’s data overload this month as we present three (count ‘em) tables listing the various #MRX Twinfluentials we’ve identified with our partners Dollywagon (www.dollywagon.com).
First up is the clientside influential list, expanded since last month thanks to the help of readers who’ve switched us on to a few more research buyers worth following on Twitter.
We also feature a list of other clientside researchers we know of but who didn’t show up in our influence analysis – probably because they’re busy talking about other things like the Tour de France and the 2012 Olympics.
And lastly you’ll find our regular table of the most influential research tweeters – buyers and suppliers.

About the analysis
Our partners at Dollywagon use keyword analysis to identify a community of people interested in market research-related topics. They then look at which Twitter handles are cited and discussed (i.e. those mentioned in the tweets of other users) within the community. Dollywagon then derives a network from this interaction and engagement data and computes the significance of each Twitter handle within the network. The handles that score highest for general influence are the people most discussed or most successful at getting other MR community members to engage with their content.
After that, we strip out certain accounts – including our own, @researchlive, and other publications like us, and corporate accounts – to produce the ranking above. We’ll be re-running the numbers once a month to help you keep up to date with the most interesting researchers to follow on Twitter.
