BASTA! 2018 – TOP 20 Influencers
The .NET, Windows & Open Innovation Conference BASTA! proudly presents the top 20 social influencers regarding the Microsoft and .NET World. All influential people have something in common: they can spread ideas faster and better than anyone else. We are aware that following those people has a handful of perks, including staying on top of the latest news and trends. Therefore, we decided to compile a list of Twitter accounts all Microsoft and .NET fans should follow.
This list was created by analysing thousands of twitter profiles extracting the MozRank and Kred scores which rank both quality and influence.
If we missed anybody, it has nothing to do with the fact that we don’t think that they are just as important or shareworthy as any person on this list. We ourselves though do believe that such analytical lists do have the right to exist and furthermore we at BASTA! follow the listed speaker on their social channels and enjoy their quality content.
We congratulate everyone who made it on this list. If you click on the name or on the picture of each speaker you will be redirected to their twitter profile and check out the useful information they share every day.
Enjoy!
METHODOLOGY
We first generated a list of two thousand .NET-related Twitter accounts.
To score the account and rank them accordingly, we analyzed their social authority and reach using two key metrics: MozRank and Kred.
Moz Social Authority Score: Social Authority score is composed of:
- The retweet rate of users’ last few hundred tweets.
- The recency of those tweets.
- A retweet-based model trained on user profile data.
Visit this MOZ blog post for more in-depth information.
Kred Score: Kred Influence Measurement, or Kred, is a website created by PeopleBrowsr that attempts to measure online social influence. Read more in the Kred scoring guide.
Congratulations to all the influencers who have made it into our Top 20!
