Who Are Social Media Influencers?

Social Media Influencers are people, sites or events that have helped create, shape, define or evolve the space. There are so many brilliant people  that are collectively influencing the world of social media, I thought it would be helpful to call out a few that amaze me.

Who do you think the social media influencers are?

Do you want an iPad? What would you use it for the most? If you don’t want one, why not?

Yes! I would use it for everything.

Digital: Social-Media Guru David Armano Heads to Edelman - Advertising Age - Digital

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- David Armano is leaving the social-media consultancy Dachis Group after only eight months to join independent PR shop Edelman. As the agency's senior VP-digital, Mr. Armano will occasionally be working alongside one of the digital sector's other boldfaced names, Steve Rubel, Edelman's senior VP-director of insights. Both will report directly to Rick Murray, president of Edelman Digital.

With Messrs. Armano and Rubel on board, Edelman further solidifies its digital offering as one of the best in the PR sector, a point not lost on agency President-CEO Richard Edelman.

"With Steve Rubel's intellect and David Armano's creativity, we now provide clients the industries' most compelling fire-and-ice team," Mr. Edelman said.
