Nick Holmes à Court has released a list:
Australia’s Top 100 Influential Twitterers
Check it out here.
It’s useful as a guide but influence is subjective and one could argue that Twitterers that post often on personal topics (i.e. respond literally to the question: What are you doing?) are Active as opposed to Influential.
I also came across this tool: TWinfluence, which analyses social networks to provide a measure for an individuals influence. TWinfluence goes one step futher than the Holmes à Court analysis by extending the analysis to the second and third layer of a social network i.e. it goes beyond direct connections.
This type of tool is really useful for agencies when conducting influencer audits.

In related news, we are currently trialling a social media monitoring tool. More on this later.

The question for me is always what determines influence? influence for company A may be different for company B, that being the case you need a system that allows you to set the influencer weightings yourself and needs to take into account the person’s full social profile not just Twitter.
