We don't need to argue about this because our arguments will be subjective. Read this http://coolstuff49ja..com/2011/11/who-are-most-influential-people-on.html to learn how to measure anybody's influnce on the internet including you as well!

Let us use objective metrics not just hearsay or perception.

Don't worry, it will be objective. We want to first get a list of possible people. After compiling the list, we will judge based on an algorithm that will take into consideration factors that are internationally accepted in determining online influence (a read of the Forbes list for instance will show some of them). So what we are doing now is just to compile the list of possible people.

And don't worry, I'm not on the list

Seun and Shahara reporters

Being Influential is Different from being Popular. Oprah Winfrey is influential, because she can make a book into a best seller, but Lady Gaga cannot do so even though she is super popular. Seun cannot influence many people even though his Nairaland is popular.

How can a celebrity gossip blogger be INFLUENTIAL and she was struggling to sell ordinary 1000 copies of her book and had to beg a friend to help her to get the book accepted by major bookshops? Why are Nigerians so ignorant and uninformed? Ask the Google Team and online authorities to tell you the most influential Nigerians online. Deolu Akinyemi is more influential than the two celebrity bloggers mentioned by some nitwits. Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye is more influential than Pastor Chris on the internet. Get your facts right before rushing to display your intellectual illiteracy on the world wide web. Good night.

You dey vex for people

Our algorithm will take such factors into consideration. On Twitter for instance, a popular person may have many followers. An influential person will get re-tweeted and determine trends. Influential people directly or indirectly determine conversations, moods and actions on line.

But of course, the truth is that mostly, the influential people are popular. And just by the way, it is possible to be influential online (which is our focus) and not really so off the web.

Oluwaseun Osewa is the man!

it is well:
