Whether or not web traffic is any kind of measure of analyst influence, I would speculate that the reason Forrester pips Gartner to the post in web traffic, according some to some recent HFN-harvested Alexa data, is the impact of one person.
Step forward Charlene Li, the only analyst at a top tier company I know of taking down walls and living in an open garden. I don’t read her blog, because of some reasons that aren’t relevant to this forum, but I know she is well respected, and evidently does good work.
So well done Charlene. I hope you get a bonus based on the traffic you surely drive.

James, there is something else I find pretty frastrating with Gartner blogs.. I can find a darn permlink to any of their blog postings !!
For e.g I wanted to move a posting this AM on “boycott Google” by someone named Jeffrey Mann, Research VP–howevr I can point to the entry at all !!
Strange that such a “reuptable” Company has still not yet got blgos correctly !!
