Sydney Social Media / Twitter Party (October 29th 2008 @The Beresford Surry Hills)

Last night at the beresford, a swanky new hotel in Surry Hills, a group of Sydney and Melbourne Bloggers, Social Media Types and Twitterers met. Attendees included:

@juliancole @jjprojects @rosshill (melbourne) @stevehopkins (melbourne) @pixel8ted @nickhac @mattvaughan @stewface @davidsoul @JoshAnstey
@eskimo_sparky @gregdwyer @ben_phillips @timlonghurst @Ifarmer @DavidVanderberg
@brento @lozzz @armyofdolls @neilphillips @servantofchaos @misswired
@Scott_Drummond @mishy101 @liako @katiechatfield @noodles83  @wheelyweb

If i have missed you please accept my apoligies and email/comment to let me know so i can update the list.

An interesting thought on the night is that there was no centralised organisation for the event, you could have removed anyone and the night would have continued to happen – it was a Mob! Open source event management :)

Some of the most interesting quotes that came out from the evening were:

“Twitter is full of the people that CEO’s go to for advice.”


“Only dead fish go with the flow.”

Here are few photos from the evening:

Australia’s Top 50 Twitter Influencers (aka The Twitterati Top 50)


There have been a number of lists posted around the blogosphere about the Top 50 Australian bloggers or Top 100 australian marketing blogs etc.

As we couldn’t find an equivalent list for twitter – we put together a list of Australia’s most influential Twitterers.

Note: Shameless self promotion – this list was put together by @nickhac

This list is powered by BuzzNumbers:



The forumla we have used for calculating TwitterRank is:
TwitterRank = (Following / 10) + (Followers) + (Updates/100)
If you would like to propose an alternate formula we would be pleased to hear it.
