    Hi guys,

    Can someone help me out?

    What is the best way to find out who are the influential bloggers and tweeters in my industry?

    Is their a directory or some place where you can enter keywords that helps you find people tweeting / blogging about my industry?

    Technorati.com may be a useful tool to discover influential bloggers.

    likewise followerwonk.com for twitter

    Join twitter, follow a few of the key players in your industry (you can usually find their twitter links on their web pages). See who they are following and watch who they are retweeting. You will usually find a good proportion of their tweets contain links to the key blogs you are looking for.

    Whats your industry?

    You can target influential tweeters who will tweet an ad for you to their followers, depending on the account usually costs about $10-$1000 a tweet

    I've done it before and it worked well, got a heap of new followers for one account and cost me $10 (was tech related)

    Also may be creating your profile on localbizz.org, this may worth reaching to local customer, its a new local networking website.

    Else may be try paid twitter adds and target with keywords that are related to your industry
