Alpha Bloggers
Newsweek has a story entitled "The Alpha Bloggers" which covers a number of prominent webloggers, including Movable Type users such as Dan Gillmor and Robert Scoble.
What's interesting about the story is not just that it highlights the impact that bloggers can have, especially on technology trends, but that each community of the blogosphere has its own alpha bloggers. Whether the focus is technology, politics, hobbies, art, or any other area, there's typically a small number of bloggers who act as influencers, shapers, or hubs of links for each separate sphere.
