"Meet the highly evolved community of 'A-listers' with growing influence over the tech agenda." (Newsweek)
I honestly have no idea who the hell they are and do not believe I am out of the trendy blogging loop, (I read tons of American blogs in the high-tech industry!!!) this is just what we call a case of good PR...
The article shows how radically power can shift in the age of the Internet...so it is still worth reading anyway...
Marie, the likes of Doc Searls, Dave Winer, Dave Sifry, Adam Curry, et al are all huge tech names - and bloggers, too. You can't really be in the loop on techie blogging if you haven't heard of them - sorry.
As for "good PR"...why yes, they are widely-read bloggers. :-)

Hi Jackie, thanks for your comment. They may are big names but it does not mean they are a reference...(or if so according to who?)
That's why I underlined a great case of PR...

If you want Microsoft and you want blogging, you want Robert Scoble. He's a great blogger.

The concept of who is a reference for whom in the blogosphere is certainly interesting, and depends on your field of interest.
But from a blogging phenomenom perspective, all these guys have massive readerships: Winer has participated to the development of RSS and Radio UserLand - one of the first blogging tools, Adam Curry is Mr Podcasting, Doc is a famous journalist and co-author of the Cluetrain Manifesto, Scoble is THE Microsoft blogger,... All quite influential, because of the number of people who read/quote/comment their blogs.

Hi, just coming up to blogging and correlated technicals items for business, I just can't give up any name - may be they are a lot in the open source community.
As I make my best to incite my business partners to come to blogging, I found very interesting for me to follow the stream up to the spring of those amazing and revolutionnary communication items.
