The folks at Wikio<\/a> sent me their latest beer blogging rankings to preview for you, so this seems like a good time to throw together a bunch of stuff about beer blogging and tweeting before getting back to beer and topics more aligned with the alleged mission<\/a> here.<\/p>\n

First, Wikio.*<\/strong> I’ve included the previous month’s ranking in parenthesis, a la Jay Brooks<\/a>. If I understand the note from Florian Saugues at Wikio correctly Jay will post the rankings regularly beginning next month. Makes sense, since his blog is consistently No. 1 or No. 2 — why not put the list where the most people will see it? — and he always has a bit of interesting commentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ranking made by Wikio<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Second, who’s got Klout?<\/strong> Nope, I hadn’t heard of Klout<\/a> either, but according to Klout itself, it measures overall online influence, using “over 35 variables on Facebook and Twitter to measure True Reach, Amplification Probability* and Network Score.”<\/p>\n

* “Amplification Probability is the likelihood that your content will be acted upon. The ability to create content that compels others to respond and high-velocity content that spreads into networks beyond your own is a key component of influence.” Duck — here comes some high velocity content.<\/em><\/p>\n

Anyway, Klout’s list of “Top 10 Influencers On Beer.” I’ve inserted links for Twitter pages. You are on your own with Facebook. The categories are Klout’s.<\/p>\n

1   Mariah Calagione<\/a> (thought leader)
\n2   Ashley Routson<\/a> (thought leader)
\n3   Lee Williams<\/a> (thought leader)
\n4   Sierra Nevada Beer<\/a> (networker)
\n5   Magic Hat Brewing<\/a> (broadcaster)
\n6   Victory Brewing<\/a> (broadcaster)
\n7   Flying Dog Brewery<\/a> (networkers)
\n8   AbbeyStMartin Beer <\/a>(specialist)
\n9   DRAFT Magazine: Beer<\/a> (thought leader)
\n10 Beer 47<\/a> (networker)<\/p>\n

Third, Fred, hops and a few of my friends.<\/strong> Another party I’ll be missing this year would be the 2011 North American Beer Bloggers Conference<\/a>. I do wish I could be spend August 19-21 in Portland, Oregon. And I know I get no sympathy from you when I explain I’ll be getting up early in Wolnzach, Germany<\/a>, to begin the long trip home after three-plus weeks of hop-related research in England, Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovenia. <\/p>\n

But, dang, it would be nice to hear what Fred Eckhardt has to tell beer bloggers. And to make the trip down to the hop fields (no, its simply not possible to spend to0 much time hanging out with hop farmers). And to figure out if the PDX Beer Bloggers<\/a> Twitter feed has any earthly value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
