Y Combinator Community’s Top 300 Influencers

On the recommendation of Andrew Smith, I’ve been reading Chaos Monkeys by Antonio Garcia Martinez. It’s a great read about startups, Silicon Valley and in particular, Facebook.

Antonio’s own startup, Adgrok, was backed by Y Combinator. For anyone who doesn’t know, Y Combinator (YC) is a seed accelerator programme, arguably THE seed accelerator programme. YC has been described as “a spawning ground for emerging tech giants”. YC has invested in over 1,000 companies with $bn successes including Airbnb, Dropbox and Stripe.

Its network of alumni and investors therefore includes a significant number of influential members of the tech community. Search in LinkedIn and you will currently find 6,632 results.

So I thought it would be interesting to see who Lissted ranks as influential in relation to this community.

Y Combinator Top Influencers

I suspect the top few results are boringly predictable to anyone who knows YC. If that’s true it also means they must be accurate, and so likely to be immediately of use to someone who doesn’t.

#1 Sam Altman has been Y Combinator’s President since 2014.

#2 Y Combinator’s own account. Obvious you might say, but then I tried searching in a competing tool and it didn’t even appear in the top 40.

#3 Paul Graham, YC’s (probably best known) co-founder.

#4 Justin Kan, founder of Twitch (another YC success story) and partner at Y Combinator.

Influencers with a range of affinity to YC

In the full list of 300 below, accounts shown in blue are rated as having a strong affinity to the Y Combinator community.

These are often YC founders, team members and partners such as Jessica Livingston, Aaron Harris, Paul Buchheit or Kat Manalac and YC alumni including Airbnb’s Brian Chesky, Stripe’s John Collison and Mattermark’s Danielle Morrill. Antonio himself appears in this group.

The other influencers within the community rated as having a lower specific affinity range from celebrities and politicians such as Barack Obama, Donald Trump and the New York Times, technology ViPs including Elon Musk, Tim Cook and Bill Gates, required startup reading like Techcrunch and high profile investors like Chris Sacca, Hunter Walk and Mark Suster.

So, without further ado, here’s the full list. You can view full details on the Google sheet here.

Methodology

Lissted selected around 500 Twitter accounts assessed as relevant to Y Combinator from its database of 4.1 million potential influencers. It then analysed their network relationships and recent interactions, applying its own community algorithm, to establish the individuals and organisations that appear to matter most to this group.

Tweetdistilled: Twitter’s “best kept secret”

@Tweetsdistilled, Lissted's auto-curated stream of top tweets is followed by 23 Twitter staff and alumni. It's the only Twitter account followed by all of them, with even Jack Dorsey only being followed by 19.

The account has been called Twitter's "best kept secret", the "BBC Radio 4 of Twitter" and "one of the best ways to find out what are the key things happening on Twitter at any given moment".

Suggesting its recipe for finding great tweets must be pretty good!

The Idea

Two years ago Lissted setup a Twitter account - @tweetsdistilled.

We did it to try out an experiment. We wanted to see if we could auto curate Twitter to find some of the most interesting and influential tweets.

Unlike other services that surface Twitter, Tweetsdistilled is not a simple popularity contest. It's not about getting a certain number of favourites, or the total retweets a tweet receives.

The account automatically retweets items it thinks are of interest based on various signals. In particular it utilises Lissted’s ability to identify influential members of communities.

You can see examples of the top viral tweets it identified during 2015 here.

Initially the account covered both the UK and US. Later we changed things so that the @tweetsdistilled account is more UK biased and a separate account @USTweetsDistill focuses on the US.

Auto curate specific Twitter communities

We subsequently set up some more accounts as experiments to auto curate specific communities or topics. 

These include: @PoliticsUKTD, @PoliticsUSTD, @HealthUKTD, @EducationUKTD, @AppleTwD and @WalesUKTD.  Recently we’ve added a few more: @NUFCTD, @LogisticsTD and @PRUKDistilled. 

The NUFC one is simply because I’m a Newcastle United fan!

These niche accounts are followed by many relevant influential people and organisations.

People who know about UK Politics, know about @PoliticsUKTD. pic.twitter.com/w4YtAb8hSW

Twitter people seem to like Tweetsdistilled

But back to the main account @Tweetsdistilled. We’ve never gone out of our way to follow people. Restricting this to just following back some key accounts. However, over time it has slowly attracted a moderate following of 1,300+. 

Within these followers are 23 accounts relating to Twitter staff and alumni.

This seems like quite a high number so we thought, “let’s see who else these 23 accounts follow?”

You can see a list of the 23 accounts here.

Between them they follow over 32,000 different accounts.

This table shows the number of members of the 23 accounts that follow the same accounts. 

For example 55 accounts are followed by 9 of the 23 accounts.

Only 1 account, @Tweetsdistilled obviously, is followed by all of them.

The Top 10 most followed accounts are:

So apart from Tweetsdistilled, all of the rest of the Top 10 are related to Twitter itself. The most popular being Andrew Fitzgerald (@magicandrew), the head of Twitter's Moments team.

Tweetsdistilled is even more popular with our gang of 23 than CEO Jack Dorsey himself!

Tweetsdistilled rubs shoulders with Twitter ViPs

There are 74 accounts that are followed by more than half (12 or more) of the 23 accounts.

The full list is here.

Of these 62 are Twitter related.

The 12 accounts that aren’t are: @HillaryClinton, @BillClinton, @POTUS, @Snowden, @BBCBreaking, @WhiteHouse, @buzzfeed, @BreakingNews, @NYTimes, @BarackObama, @Guardian and of course @Tweetsdistilled.

Now there’s a cool list to be part of!

In fact our group of followers is nearly twice as likely to follow Tweetsdistilled than the current, former and potentially next Democratic Presidents of the United States.

Start following

All of which suggests that Tweetsdistilled must have a pretty good recipe for curating Twitter. So why not start following today to find out what you're missing.

Top 49 words in successful LinkedIn post titles

Why, How or What appear in nearly one third of successful posts

The word cloud above is based on the relative frequency of terms appearing in the 1,196 LinkedIn posts tracked by Lissted in the last 6 months* that achieved 2,000 or more LinkedIn shares. None of the posts were by LinkedIn Influencers (more about them in another post).

From the table below we can see that one of “Why”, “How” or “What” appears in nearly a third of the posts**.

The top posts with each of these terms

Why I turned down $500K, Pissed off my investors, and Shut down my startup (10,763 shares)

How I Landed my Dream Job in Two Weeks: My Top 5 Linkedin Tips! (7,792 shares)

What's the largest number you can represent with 3 digits? Nope. It's not 999. (21,372 shares)

But perhaps these terms only appear in a lot of highly shared posts because they’re used so often?

The popularity of the top terms could just reflect the fact that they are used often in posts generally.

The following table compares the frequency of the top 5 terms in the successful posts to the frequency of the same terms in the remainder of the LinkedIn posts tracked by Lissted (55,198) that got less than 2,000 shares.

We can see that “you” actually appears more often in the other posts suggesting its presence is not beneficial.

But the other four all appear less in the other posts. In fact “why” appears 2.3 times more in the top posts than in the wider population.

A prediction 

So for example, given the UK’s next Prime Minister is (at the time of writing) looking like being Theresa May, what about a topical post based on the analysis?

A LinkedIn post that asked:

“Why (2.3 times more popular) women (4.5 times) make (1.4 times) the best (4.5 times) CEOs (3.5 times)?” 

should in theory do very well. 

Interestingly, at the moment there's only one piece of content indexed by Google that matches that title.

Anyone better qualified than me want to have a crack at writing a post on this topic to see how it performs?

Notes

*  To appear in Lissted’s data the posts had to be shared by at least one influential Twitter user tracked by us.

** “a, an, and, are, at, for, from, in, it, of, that, the, to” have all been removed.

Who’s influential in Boulder, Colorado? Startup King of the Mountains

Boulder, Colorado. Population 97,385 (294,567 Metro area).

For non tech people in the UK we’d think Boulder, Colorado might be best known as the setting for the much loved Robin Williams’ sitcom Mork and Mindy.

For the Tech community it’s probably better known as where Techstars, the startup accelerator, was founded.

It’s also home to GNIP, Twitter’s data arm, who provide Lissted with the raw material on which a lot of our analysis is based.

With this in mind we thought we’d see who Lissted ranks as influential in the Boulder community.

What we looked at

The focus of this analysis is who's influential in relation to other Boulder residents. What you might call their local community influence.

This means that some Boulder residents who have wider state, US and/or global influence may not feature because they aren't as well connected in the local community as the 100 accounts in our list. Examples include @BadAstronomer (5th global Astronomy, 11th in global physics) and @BrianClark (58th US SEO&SEM, 60th US Digital Marketing).

A full list of the Top 100 Boulder influencers is at the bottom of the post and you can find a Twitter list here.

We've also included a list of the top 40 Boulder residents based on Twitter wide influence for good measure too.

Daily Camera and Brad Feld top the list

30 people and 70 organisations feature in the Top 100.

Top ranked organisation:

Daily Camera (1st), Boulder’s local newspaper. To give an idea of its significance to the Boulder community, the account is followed by 44 of the other 49 influencers in the Top 50.

Top ranked person:

Brad Feld (3rd), co-founder of the Boulder based venture capital firm the Foundry Group, and co-founder of Techstars.

Startups, VCs and Journalists are key

More than half of the 30 people in the top 100 (16) are either VCs or relate to the startup community in some way.

Of the remaining fourteen, five are journalists, three are politicians (or involved in local politics), three relate to creative/marketing, leaving one each for art, business and media.

Techstars rocks Boulder

Top 10 People

Five of the top 10 people in the list relate to Techstars, and one other is a Techstars volunteer.

As well as Brad Feld, the other person ranked in the top 10 at 6th is Andrew Hyde, Startup Week Director at Techstars.

The rest of the top 10 people in the list are:

Mitchell Byars (15th) – Reporter at The Daily Camera. David Cohen (16th) – Founder and Managing Partner at Techstars Jared Polis (17th) – Congressman for Colorado’s 2nd district (includes Boulder) Nicole Glaros (18th) – Chief Product Officer, Techstars Ef Rodriguez (21st) – Director of Global Social, HTC. Ex Ignite Boulder, Techstars volunteer & Colorado University (Boulder) Alumnus Ari Newman (24th) – Partner at Techstars Seth Levine (26th) – Managing Director, Foundry Group Elaine Ellis Reddy (27th) – ex Marketing Manager, GNIP.

Businesses and local media are strong voices

Startup and VC organisations are also prevalent in the Top 100. There are eight included, with three occupying Top 10 positions – Techstars (4th), Boulder Startup Week (7th) and Ignite Boulder (8th).

But this isn’t the biggest group. Local business related accounts for 22 members of the Top 100, with local media following close behind with 17 accounts in the Top 100.

Other top organisation accounts that feature in the Top 10 are the City of Boulder (2nd) and the University of Colorado (Boulder) (10th).

Basis of analysis

To calculate the Boulder community rankings the Lissted platform selected a sample of 2,812 Twitter accounts that it rates as the most significant relating to “Boulder CO” OR “Boulder Colorado”. It then applied our proprietary algorithms to over 1.9 million following/follower relationships in connection with these accounts, as well as thousands of retweets, replies and mentions between them over the last 90 days.

The wider Twitter ranking list was calculated based on analysing 1 billion+ relationships relating to over 1.3 million accounts ranked as most influential by Lissted and millions of retweets, replies and mentions over the last 90 days.

Top 100 PR Measurement Influencers

The International Association for Measurement and Evaluation of Communication (AMEC) is holding its annual summit this week in London.

To celebrate we thought we’d put the Lissted platform to work using its Twitter data and proprietary algorithms to try and figure out who’s influential in the PR Measurement community.

The full Top 100 list (including scores and methodology) *now extended to 150* is at the bottom of the post and a Twitter list of the Top 100 is here. 

Follow #AMECSummit tweets filtered by this list here.

AMEC and Richard Bagnall lead the way

Perhaps unsurprisingly the No.1 ranked influencer and top organisation is AMEC itself.

The top ranked person at No.2 on the list is Richard Bagnall, CEO of Prime Research UK and AMEC board member.

Richard is a leading figure behind AMEC’s new interactive integrated measurement framework which will be launched tomorrow (Thurs 16th June) at 16.30 - you can watch the announcement via Periscope here.

PR Measurement community is all about the people

Two thirds (67) of the Top 100 influencers are people. They work in a range of roles that reflect the many interested parties in the measurement conversation. Thirteen of these people are speaking at this week’s AMEC summit.

33 Organisational influencers make up the remainder of the Top 100. Media intelligence vendors and consultancies (11) are the single biggest group. Followed by industry bodies (9), media outlets (7) and PR/Social Media consultancies (3).

Basis of analysis

To calculate the rankings the Lissted platform selected a sample of Twitter accounts that it rates as potentially significant relating to PR Measurement terms e.g. “measurepr”, “pr measurement”, “media evaluation”, “social media measurement”. It then applied our proprietary algorithms to over 90,000 following/follower relationships in connection with these accounts, as well as thousands of retweets, replies and mentions by them over the last 90 days.

Notes on scores

Community Score is a measure of the account’s level of potential influence in the particular community based on the follower relationships and interactions they have with others in that community.

Insider Score is a prediction of whether the account may also have influence in other communities. The higher the score the more the person’s influence appears to be concentrated in the specific community being analysed.

Example:

An account like @PRWeekUS has a fairly high Community score - 83 - because a significant proportion of the PR Measurement community follow and interact with it.

However @PRWeekUS’s Insider score is a lot lower at 47 because its influence isn’t restricted to the PR Measurement community, but extends far beyond this.

Contrast with @BarryLeggetter whose Insider score of 100 implies that Barry's influence is likely to be concentrated in the PR Measurement community itself.

NB - Both scores are logarithmic so 100 to 90 is quite a jump, 90 - 80 a even bigger one, 80 - 70 even bigger and so on.

How to solve Twitter’s multi $bn active user problem?

Twitter's lacklustre growth in active users is arguably the single biggest factor effecting its share price at the moment.

Last week Twitter's CEO, Jack Dorsey, tweeted a request to developers for ideas.

Developers on Twitter: please tweet your ideas and requests using hashtag #helloworld. We're listening!

— Jack (@jack)

October 21, 2015

In response we’ve created this video letter to Mr Dorsey.

It contrasts the current journey of discovery for our example user Jill, with an alternative approach based on a combination of:

- the new fremium version of Lissted (sign up here); and

- our @tweetsdistilled experiment accounts, that identify top community tweets.

So Jack, meet Jill.

The video illustrates the importance of the discovery experience for new users. At Lissted we think enabling people to discover relevant communities from the start could go a long way to helping to solve the problem:

- Immediately connects new users to the most interesting people, content and conversations to them. Twitter's new Moments feature looks great, but it's focussed on stories, not communities. And we think it's being part of a community that encourages engagement.

- Enable users to see the best tweets from a community without having to follow large numbers of accounts straightaway.

- Provide better ways to stay connected to the top shared content in a community when you're not using Twitter.

We'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions about how, or if, Twitter can solve its user growth problem.

Over to you Jack.

How to use our dynamic Twitter lists

Never used a Twitter list before? Here is a quick step-by-step guide to using one with our new dynamic lists. 

First, a quick reminder of what a Twitter list is and how it works:

A Twitter list is a list created by any user to follow a particular group. They can be private- only visible to the person who created them- or public. You can create one yourself, or you can follow someone else’s public list. You don’t need to be following the accounts themselves to “follow” the list, and you can edit a list if it is too hard to keep up with.

Two things to bear in mind; You can have a maximum of 20 lists per user, and each list can contain a maximum of 500 members. For a more detailed overview, see what Twitter themselves have to say. 

Assuming you use Twitter frequently, you probably use one of the client platforms. Here’s how to use a list with two of the most popular; Tweetdeck and Hootsuite.

Tweetdeck

1) Open Tweetdeck and click Add Column 2) Select Group/lists from the menu 3) Enter the list URL in the box, e.g https://twitter.com/lissted/ibc-2012 4) This list will now appear as a column in your Tweetdeck

From here you can use the ‘Show what is popular in this column’ button and click on popular terms or you could use the filter button, and put in a keyword, such as ‘IBC’, to see the most relevant tweets.

Hootsuite

1) Subscribe to the list on Twitter Web, e.g. https://twitter.com/lissted/ibc-2012 2) Open Hootsuite and click ‘Add Stream’ 3) Select lists from the menu 4) Choose from Subscribed Lists and create stream 4) This list will now appear as a column in your Hootsuite

You can click the small drop down and select Filter by Keyword,‘IBC, or by Klout score if you have a premium account. (NB: you may need to scroll down to see all the tweets)

If you leave the list unfiltered you get all the tweets from the list members. They may not be directly relevant, but you can get a better understanding of their interests by seeing what else they tweet about.

Things to remember:

Our ‘IBC’ dynamic list collects technology, media & entertainment journalists and outlets who have mentioned the IBC in the last 7 days.

All the media professionals who mention the IBC are on the members list, so you could also follow them. Visit https://twitter.com/#!/lissted/ibc-2012/members
