RedMonk’s position in this research from HFN-Analyst Relations<\/A> is pretty incredible when you look at it, especially considering many of our readers are using RSS and Feedblitz emails rather than redmonk.com. Or perhaps we’re just benefiting from inbound linking, being part of the conversation… rather than putting up a 50 foot garden wall. <\/DIV>

There is really only one narrative to call out based on the data, which is that a three man firm is driving levels of web influence comparable to Ovum, which just announced its IPO<\/A>.<\/DIV>

I don’t know anything about the methodology but I really like the graph. We’re at number 14. Pretty cool huh. You would expect this distribution to look a bit more like a Long Tail, wouldn’t you? But evidently Gartner, contrary to Duncan’s assertion, is not turning its influence into greater shareholder value: if it was it would be pulverising all the rest of us, and we’d be in the long tail with Gartner and Forrester as the short head. If you own an industry but don’t dominate on the web you’re potentially in big trouble. It will be interesting to check out the data again in six months, now we have Cote onboard…<\/DIV>
