I've been tracking John Sumser’s unfolding list of top 100 HR influencers with interest.
John has now published a new list which uses algorithms to rank online footprints and identify the top 25 online HR influencers -we're ranked at #19. Check out the HRExaminer site for info on all of the writers; you'll find some unique contributors.
I found John's approach to the rankings refreshing. He took time to decide upon a set of meaningful criteria and stuck to them. The ranking is a combination of three different percentages:
- Reach: This score (a percentile) estimates the number of people who see the material. It’s a measure of "eyeballs" or audience size.
- Resonance: This measures the number of inbound links, mentions, blogroll listings, & community participation
- Relevance: This score describes the fit of the individual's work with a cloud of keywords.
Many thanks to the other influencers and contributors for linking here. And special thanks to you for reading!
Congrats, Steve -- You're one of my biggest influencers, and it's nice to see you recognized in an elite group.

Steve,
When you reference "relevance" are you taking into account user experience in your rankings? I think that the word "content" gets overused as it pertains to written word. Anything can be content including something usable by the visitor. Do you agree?
