Why Only 100?
• By looking at the Top 100, you get a good view ofhow the blogosphere in a region operates– It’s a snapshot view
• While these are the most prominent blogs, in no wayare they the only important ones
• Every niche has its own Top 100, both globally andregionally
• Find the 100 that matter to you and figure out how toengage them in a conversation

Research Methodology
• For each top 100 list of local influencers we lookedat– Who are they and what they cover– How often they talk about multinationals/local companies
• In addition, we zeroed in on the top 10 in eachregion to find out how often they link to– Each other– Regional media– US media (CNN, NY Times, CNET, USA Today)

Conclusions
• To influence the influencers, you need to take both alocal and a global view of the conversation
• The dialogue in each region is fairly balkanized andreflects the local culture and influences. However, itis influenced by media and blogs in other countries
• Companies and brands are discussed in Europeanblogs, but not nearly as often as in the US or asproduct categories are talked about.
• You have a big opportunity to become part of theconversation by listening and developing programs
