Traumwind - 150 infuences

John Battelle has a very inspirational post about word-of-mouth like marketing:

For any product you're selling, there is a unique set of roughly 150 such leaders, each of whom you can and should get to know personally.

via lcom

Studies seem to show that there are about 150 infuencial people (leaders) in a given market for a product that can effectivly carry the word about any given product...

So if one gets these key players to 'take a look' and gets them involved with the product, they will form a critical mass of people talking about the product...

So maybe it would be well worthwhile to write up a set of 'contacts' and note down in what fields these are influencial. Actually far more worthwhile than constructing a FOAF file, which right away has more use for others than for oneself. But this contact list could very well later on be externalized with FOAF and expanded/merged with those of others...
