We are happy to announce a joint study with Access Communications (a Ketchum company) at the BlogHer Conference in Chicago. Twitalyzer teamed up with the technology Public Relations agency to provide insight of the top female bloggers and their influence on Twitter.

“As citizen journalists and emerging media outlets challenge and overtake traditional media, it has become increasingly important for communicators and marketers to understand where these individuals and media properties rank in the overall landscape,” said Michael Young, senior vice president and social media practice leader, Access Communications. “By combining ABIE with Twitalyzer we’ve developed a powerful and holistic way to depict an individual blogger’s social media influence and rank them within the broader context of the blogosphere and twitterverse.”

“Creating and maintaining influence in a short-messaging medium like Twitter is no easy feat,” said Eric T. Peterson, founder and CEO of Twitalyzer. “Twitter is unlike any communication platform out there and so building influence and creating a measurable impact requires more than just having a lot of followers. Building influence is about being a frequent and strong voice, sharing relevant content, as well as supporting and listening to the community.”
