How do you decide who are the experts?

I am using the same algorithms I developed for Game Of Angels (http://techcrunch.com/2015/04/25/game-of-angels/), where I was mapping the tech influence networks.

In short, it looks at a bunch of social media signals to see who interact with who among people in a certain industry.

Thanks. Love the experts.

How they range from helpful, extracting the key data, to.... just plain b!tchy and cynical :)

Yes, you are right, especially in Tech (Finance for instance is a bit more "formal").

But what I like about it is - I think - it gives a good "idea" of the general feeling about a certain piece of news. Sometimes a bit of irony is... welcome!
