Data Science A-list - latest update: @analyticbridge, @derrickharris, @kdnuggets, @rwang0, @gilpress, @cloud_aware, @swgoof, @data_nerd, and @al3xandru.

From: Gregory Piatetsky
The latest update (as of Jan 26, 2013) of the Data Science A-list, curated by Gil Press includes these 10 leaders below.

In addition to Reach (audience size), Resonance (ability to engage their community), and Relevance (to Data Science context), defined by Traackr, I also added Klout influence scores as of Jan 30, 2013.

Most of the influencers get their influence from Twitter, except for Derrick Harris and Maria Deutscher - the 2 journalists on the list.

In comparison with a similar Data Science A-list from March 2012, only 2 names have remained among top 10:

  • Gregory Piatetsky, @kdnuggets (in 3rd place both years)
  • Alex Popescu, MyNoSQL, @al3xandru (dropped from #1 to #9).
