You're spot on with these. I'll forgive the auto-DM, thought it does annoy me a bit. I used to care a lot more about my numbers and influence ranking and all that sort of thing until I came to the radical conclusion that for me, it doesn't matter. Don't get me wrong - I love blogging, the twitter community and learning from all the people out there who are smarter than I am, but as a business owner, I need to look at ROI for myself, and stick to what brings me personal, professional and financial value - just like every other business that wants to get into social media. I'm flattered that you consider me that influential, by the way. I'm certainly nowhere near as influential as many of the people on that list, but the one missing piece of the contest is "influential" and "good at what you do" are two separate things. It happens that the people on that list are indeed good at what they do, but on influence in general, I don't pick my plumber based on how many plumbing keynotes he gives, and you shouldn't pick your marketing firm that way either.

I'm slowly mellowing on the 'expert' thing, although I'd never refer to myself as one - social media is indeed evolving rapidly and is very young as a discipline; however marketing and public relations are also evolving yet we think of marketing experts. Still, I do wince when I see it. I'm still yet to receive an auto-reply from someone I've followed. Bizarre. Nice post, Joe – well thought-out and interesting.
