Mitch, it does not surprise me that you are ranked high (in BTVSMD nominations or via TweetLevel). Among the folks I follow in Twitter, you are among the most valuable who engage in "mindcasting". I, personally, find a lot of value in it and appreciate that you make me pause and, well, think. Especially, since you do have a more global audience and reach. To me, the overall value of the BTV hashtag or local folks like you and Rich and Gahlord is incredible. The BTV social media universe offers such an diversity of voices, influences and target audiences. Makes for a rich conversation. A nice complement to the place we live. Thanks, Rich, for posting this. Great food for thought. As Mitch notes, it's about who and what we're influencing and I appreciate posts that make me mull those very key social media metrics.
