100 People Who Don’t Get Enough Credit Online
I’ve been trying to keep my mouth shut over the last year or so as list after list comes out that just doesn’t make sense. I’ve seen lists of the most ten influential “philanthropists” that may only include one person who is truly focused on philanthropy on a regular basis, for example. This is suspicious. It’s not to say that the people who tend to make lists aren’t great. However, incorporating big names onto every list that comes around becomes more about link or comment bait and less about actually paying tribute to people.
Last week, a list of the 100 top marketing minds online came before my eyes, and while there were a lot of names I didn’t recognize on there, there were also all of the same names you see on every list, including at least one person who has pointedly said they don’t even like marketing. This was the last straw.Instead of just complaining that deserving people aren’t getting enough credit, I’ve decided to do something about it. I’ve compiled my own list of 100 people who do great things who don’t get nearly enough credit. I am proud to know every single one of these people – so much so that I’ve said 3 good things about all of them. I hope you enjoy!

Super honored to make the list! You’re a sweetheart Margie! 🙂
@Biebert You belong there. You do good work. 🙂
Hey Margie, This is a really wonderful list. Such a nice idea. Love it.
@boydjane Thanks! Glad to hear it 🙂
I can’t believe I finally made it on a LIST! 😉 All kidding aside, Margie, I know you as one of the most honest and forthcoming people in this space. You simply “tell it like it is”, the rest of y’all be damned! And I highly respect that. The fact that *you* included me in this roster of incredible talent absolutely made my day!! Thanks, hugs, LB
@belllindsay Hey, you and me both; looks who else is at the party….sweet…..
@belllindsay Double ditto what Lindsay said:) (is that cheating?)
Brilliant? Whoa, now I won’t be able to pull a t-shirt over this big fat head of mine….:).
That is so cool Margie, thanks for thinking of me. The main person missing from the list is you of course.
You really do rock socks; I’m glad I can call you a friend; friend…..
@bdorman264 Ditto all that Bill said:)
@bdorman264 Aw, thanks Bill. Well, I’m all the better for having met folks like you. Cue Bette Midler..and…now!
What a great list! There are so many wonderful people here and they all are awesome!
@Tommyismyname true that!
Margie, I love your heart. And like you, I tire of so many lists that are, essentially meaningless but to the person who created them. This? Filled with so many wonderful people that I’m blessed to call “friend” …. is truly an homage to them – not linkbait. And the fact that you were kind enough to include me is an honor beyond measure.
Thank you, my friend, for being smart, kind, ridiculous and sassy — and for always spending your time lifting others up — just as you do, once again, here. You are a gift.
Shelly
shellykramer
@ShellyKramerThanks much, Shelly. I used to do lists like this on a much more regular basis but myself got accused of link bait and comment bait, so I figured it just wasn’t worth getting the crap. But there have been SO many lists lately that have just recycled the same people, and there are SO MANY great people who are getting passed over – I just couldn’t hold my tongue anymore. You know me…:) Glad you enjoyed it!
Margie, this is an incredible list – I now have some fun discovery work ahead of me checking some of these (new to me) folks out. Thanks for doing this!
@SteveWoodruff It was a pleasure! 🙂
Margie – You are always so good at shining a light on other people. You are always so generous – a attribute that I wish more people shared.
Thanks for taking the time to give credit to all of these deserving people. I just happen to check this out this morning to see all of the wonderful folks you highlighted (I just KNEW it would be good!). And, it is! It’s great to see so many wonderful folks I know on this list and plenty of new ones to check out. And, I learned some things about some of the people I thought I knew – for instance, I had NO idea @bdorman264 is a running coach! Now, I must beg him for advice before my first marathon! 🙂
Anyway, thanks for the roundup and for including me among a lot of wonderful people I know and respect. You are a gem, Margie! I’m blessed to know you!
@lauraclick Well, coach might be a stretch but I do have a 3:42 marathon under my belt and felt I trained ‘perfectly’ for it. I would be happy to share what worked for me.
@bdorman264 Wow! That’s spectacular! I’ve run four 1/2 marathons and am training for my first full marathon in November. I’m slow, but it’s all about finishing for me. I’m training with a local Galloway group and have found this method works great for me.
How many races have you run?
@lauraclick Of course, lady. I’m so glad I got to meet you in person earlier this year, although it was far too short a visit 🙂
@margieclayman I know! It was so great to finally meet you. But you’re right – it was entirely too short!
Hi Margorie, fell across this from Facebook. That’s a great list of folks. i know a few of them and by your choices should use this as a resource to find other great folks.
I would also vote for Craig McBreen . I consider him a friend and he writes with purpose always willing to help. Great guy if you don’t know him.
As @bdorman264 said, you are not on the list as you should be. Have a great day.
@rdopping Absolutely! Craig is an awesome man. That’s the problem with 100 – there are *at least* another 100 people I’d include, not to mention YOU!
@margieclayman thank you. You mentioned you don’t use this site much anymore. Where do you blog regularly?
@rdopping you can find me at http://www.claymanadvertising.wordpress.com on MWF, and then I also post for Carol Roth once a month and for Razoo 3 times a month – schedules TBD 🙂
Margie, at a time when I’m pondering my path, you honour me with inclusion in this fab group. As I said on google+, you’ve added wind to my sails, and bolstered my resolve to chart, not stay, the course. Thank you so much. You’ll never really know how this timely honour has re-energized my spirit. With gratitude, Kaarina
@KDillabough So happy to hear that. That makes *my* day!
Now that is what I call a list!
Some familiar names in there…. Danny Brown and Judy Dunn caught my eye as I skimmed down.
Two of my favourite peeps.
Looks like a real labour of love.
@wmwebdes It was fun. I enjoy writing about awesome people. Makes the time fly!
I’m truly touched, Margie. This is the only kind of list that really matters to me. Thank you for your kindness.
@webby2001 You so deserve it. You are way too smart (and dangerous) to not be appreciated regularly 🙂
I thought you killed this blog?
@geoffliving I’m not posting here but I didn’t want to delete the site – in case things like this came up that wouldn’t really fit anywhere else 😉
@margieclayman Makes sense. Well good on you for doing it.
“thorn in Sam Fiorella’s side” – I’m literally laughing out loud. Great big belly laugh! Caught me off guard with that one.
Margie – I’m honored to be included in this wonderful list, and blessed to also call so many of these people friends and colleagues. Looks like I’ll be spending today getting to know the ones before this list were unknown to me. 🙂
@Sean McGinnis …@staceyhood is probably the most underrated person on this list. Very smart guy, albeit a true pain in the ass.
@samfiorella @staceyhood I wouldn’t disagree with that assessment one bit. 🙂
@samfiorella @Sean McGinnis Thanks M for including me on this great list of smarties & thanks Sam & Sean, check is in the mail!
@samfiorella @staceyhood Pains in the ass unite!
@Sean McGinnis thanks Sean – it’s a good crowd – you fit right in 🙂
Funny. I’ve never written such a list cuz whenever I start, the first name is yours and then I go blank.
Funny. I’ve never written such a list cuz whenever I start, the first name is yours and then I go blank.
@samfiorella *hugs* 🙂
What a surprise to wake up to! And don’t forget Margie Clayman: Smart, funny, with a dose of sassitude. I have so enjoyed getting to know you: your humor and your take on social media—and life.
Seriously, how long must this have taken you to compile? I am beyond honored that you would include me on this list.
Now, I’m off to follow the fine folks on this list I’m not already connected to. Thank you for this!
@JudyDunn It took…awhile…:) But you definitely deserve to get much more credit than you do. You are appreciated!
I don’t even want to know how long you spent on this Margie, but you’ve shined light on a lot of great, smart people…of which you stand right beside. Have a great Sunday!
@Marcus_Sheridan It was a bit of a time investment, but I really enjoy doing things like this. I know these people, I know how hard they work – it’s a pleasure to say, “Yep, I see you.”
It was hard not to have you on here, but you’ve had SUCH a good year – and I knew you wouldn’t be mad 🙂 You know I think you’re faboo!
@margieclayman I was gonna say @Marcus_Sheridan but you’re right, he’s going places and hearing the roar of the crowds – he’s earned it. 🙂
Ha Ha Ha 🙂 Few days ago, i said if i see my name on any of the lists, i will be the first one to publicly ask for my name to be taken down from the list 🙂 Well I am not going to ask you do so, coz your heart is on right place. You ask did i missed someone… Yes You did miss 2 very important person in my online life: YOURSELF and Angela Maiers…. Thank U again Margie! X
Just Spot Angela Maiers on the list… I am sorry… So you missed out YOURSELF Margie!
@jureklepic well, as I said to Dave Reynolds, I thought about just putting my name on there, but then I thought that might be kind of a d-baggy move 🙂
@jureklepic I know you make a lot of lists BUT I feel like people don’t really focus on how wonderful you truly are. So, I figured, hey, why not? 🙂
What a wonderful list and recognition of so many who contribute everyday to the community. I am so honored to be included and am proud to be among so many others I admire and appreciate!
Did you add your name???
@AngelaMaiers Thanks Angela. You are an amazing woman. I am not sure you realize how inspiring you are!
Margie, you are something else. Thank you so much for the inclusion ~ it means a lot. As I read through your list, I was impressed again and again my the people I saw, not only because of their expertise in the category into which they had been placed, but because of those I knew, each is slogging in the trenches, day in and day out, living their mission. They are walking their talk…how inspiring. I’ll echo @AngelaMaiers : you are the sort of catalyst that belongs on lists on this nature. Thanks so much for taking the time to craft it! 🙂
@mckra1g Aw, thanks Molly. Categorizing people got to be a bit hard in some places – I didn’t want to have a category with just 1 person in it, so I sort of glomped people together and cheated a bit 🙂 What you do is so amazing, though. I will never tire of shining the light on you. Well, I mean, my arms might get tired, but at that point I’ll get a tripod or a hanging light or something.
Margie, you have a wonderful heart and this is the only kind of list that I care to be on. Thank you immensely for your kindness and this truly heartwarming gesture, and I’m honored to be included amongst that I truly consider friends and colleagues.
Cheers to you, my friend!
@jasonkonopinski I’m very happy i’ve gotten to know you over the last year, Badabinski. You are a delight 🙂
Margie what an honor to be included in your list. Such compliment coming from you. I hope you know you such an inspiration to ALL of us – nothing but endless admiration for you.
@Jeannette Baer Couldn’t have said it better myself. 🙂
@amoyal @Jeannette Baer Shux….:)
There are so many good peeps out there, Margie! Thanks for including me. I’d add @ValaAfshar as a master tweeter and #custserv contributor, and @FrankEliason as a social customer service visionary. So, so many more!
@RoyAtkinson Thanks Roy. Yeah, I probably could do a list of 1,000, but that would take days upon days and I’d probably get really bad carpal tunnel 🙂 I love y’all, but I need my hands! 🙂
You missed….. YOURSELF. 🙂
@amoyal in our eyes; she’s in a category of her own! (and I know you agree with me)
@Jeannette Baer Shhhhhhhhhh you’re making me look nice 😉
@amoyal @Jeannette Baer seriously – nice Arié? Pod, pod? 😀
I can’t wait to add all the people I’m not already following! A tremendous list (and thank you for including me) of people who don’t just talk the talk but walk the walk. I would add @ValaAfshar as someone who really offers great content and interaction. Also love @JeffTincher. The world needs more lists like this not just the “pump and inflate” type. 🙂
@susie_parker hah, pump and inflate. Yeah. I like “warm light” approach. Gold star approach. High five approach. That’s what I was going for anyway. I hope it worked 🙂
Well then… 100 more people to add to my social media circle of influence. Thanks so much for putting together this list! Looking forward to getting to know them.
@JeffHowell76 Thanks Jeff! Enjoy!
I’m not a fan of these lists, but I have to say you honored some really great folks on here who as you say ‘don’t get enough credit’ and I’m happy to see their light spread more widely.
Cheers,
Matt Ridings – @techguerilla
@techguerilla Thanks Matt. I hesitated a long time before putting this together. I’ve gotten a lot of pretty mean comments thrown my way in the past when I did lists like this. Accusations of link bait, comment bait, etc. But at some point you have to move forward knowing why you’re doing what you’re doing. I’m glad you feel this list has merit 🙂
What a great list, Margie! I love seeing soulati , @lauraclick , @bdorman264 , @KDillabough , andginidietrich here — all personal favorites, and for the reasons you’ve listed! I see a lot of names here I don’t recognize, so I’ll be checking them out. Thank-you!
Big recommendation: for customer service, you’ve got to check out adamtoporek (Customers That Stick), at http://customersthatstick.com. Love him!
@New England Multimedia Thanks! Glad you liked it! I have seen Adam’s name all over the place. You’re right – I need to get to know him better.
@margieclayman Great list Margie. And I look forward to doing likewise!
@New England Multimedia You are too kind!
Margie, I love that you created this list (and why) and am honored to be included. I’m sad that your name is not on it, it should be. I follow quite a few of these folks and now have more folks to follow and get to know. Thank you Margie.
@Sherree_W Thanks Sherree 🙂 I get all of the joy I need out of making other folks happy. I’m coo 🙂
I love this list. There are a huge number of people on that list that I thoroughly enjoy following. (And I’m very guilty of not engaging enough tweets.) This list is a great shout out. I follow @amoyal @Britopain, @Armano, @TheBrandbuilder @ChiefLemonHead @LisaPetrelli and many more above and thoroughly enjoy their tweets! Sorry if that sounds repetitive from so many comments! The thing of it is that I really have clicked through and read a number of articles written by @Britopain and @TheBrandBuilder and many more and they’re great thinkers. And on top of it all, your list has so many nice conversational people in it! It looks like the Lisa Petrelli link above is not clickable?
@SbuxMel Hey you! Yeah, these people are all way too smart for me. I have to read a book a day just to be able to not sound like a cave man. It’s a full-time job!
I’ll check out that link – I always miss *at least* one when I do these 🙂
Margie – thanks so much for including me here! Honored and humbled – you make me feel like a kid on Christmas morning. 🙂 Thanks for all you are and all you do.
@GregOrtbach You deserve it, Greg. have a good Monday 🙂

What an awesome list Margie! I’m going to use this list whenever anyone asks me “But I don’t know who to follow…”. I’d add Amy Vernon ( @AmyVernon), Deb Weinstein (@DebWeinstein), Mila Araujo (@Milaspage and Josepf Haslam (@josepf)
As others stated below, you belong at the top of the list! It was through you that many of us met many others on the list – you are truly one of the greatest connectors on the interwebs! Thanks so much @margieclayman, it is an incredible list!
@MorberMarketing Aw, thanks lady. actually, most people on this list introduced me to other people on the list. I’m just mushin’ em all together 🙂
You are right – Amy and MIla and Deb and Josepf are all wonderful. Like I said – I could easily do another 100 and i just might 🙂
@margieclayman Yaaaaa Amy Vernon Deborah Weinstein mila and josepf !
Wow Margie what an incredible Monday surprise. I am honored and humbled to be included with this list of folks. Thanks for all you do to bring positive input and value to this space. Smush or some such term of endearment. 😉
@SMSJOE haha 🙂 Thanks or some such, Joe. You deserve it 🙂
You missed @MargieClayman – Always, always, always giving and listening. Beautiful soul, radiates love and light. 🙂 Honored to be included Margie and seriously laughed to see you describe me as “dancer.” My instructors will be proud!! Really hope to see you soon – was very sorry our last plans with the group didn’t pan out.
@LisaPetrilli I’ve seen the pictures to prove it! Besides, it makes sense that you’re into dancing, you energy spark you 🙂
Lots of cool peeps, thanks Margie. And obviously you get the nod as well….but I think A LOT of people have validated that before me! Thanks for pushing the positive 🙂
@Steve Birkett thanks Steve. Very kind of you in all regards 🙂
Thanks Margie, I’m touched and honoured. Great to see you active on your blog and doing it right!
@nickkellet You have a typo up there Nick…

@margieclayman @nickkellet Does that mean it’s not really a typo when you insert extra letters? 😉
@nickkellet thanks sir 🙂
I can’t tell you how touched I am to be included in this most wonderful of lists, @margieclayman ! I am honored by your kindness and I am honored to be nestled among some really amazing people in the online and offline world! Thank you so, so much!
xoxo
Claudia

@leaderswest Sure thing Smushmaster 🙂
Oh my goodness! Not only am I thrilled to be on here (and I didn’t see it until my pal Eric Martin pointed it out), but I’m thrilled to see:a) so many great friends who deserve it
b) so many people I will now follow and get to know.
‘Cause I trust your opinion sincerely Margie.
@AmyMccTobin thanks Amy – I really appreciate that!
This is such a resource, Margie – I love the list because (1) you provide personal insight into each personality, (2) you provide their twitter ID for quickly following, and (3) this list is done purely out of the goodness of your heart and personal experience…no other bias.
Thanks for including me on the list, Margie. I look forward to our interactions in multiple blog comments sections, Twitter and Facebook on a weekly basis. You are a special lady with a quick wit, generous heart, and fast slap for when we get out of line. Glad to know you…
@dbvickery Aw, thanks Brian 🙂 Glad I got to chill with you in person 🙂
This is a great list and wonderful resource! 🙂
@AidScholarship thanks!
Me! You missed me! 😉 Nice list filled with people I like.
@wordwhacker WHATEVER. you get a TON of credit online. At least I have to say you are on my list right next to my buddy Hank, Merle and Blake 😉 XOXO
@JessicaNorthey Aw, gee whiz, @JessicaNorthey. You are the best. I think this is a great list.
@wordwhacker @JessicaNorthey Yeah, this – cracked me up 🙂
This is the kind of list I can relate to – because it’s got context, there’s a method to your madness here. Some smart people, lots of names I know along w/ a few I don’t (and hope to meet soon). FWIW.
@3HatsComm Finally, a method to my madness! I’ve been waiting for one my whole life! 🙂 Thanks lady 🙂
Margie,
I am humbled & inspired, as well as maybe a little bit delighted 😉 to be included on this list of extraordinary people. The common thread is that we are all drawn to you and your beacon of brilliance. Thank-you.

@Gaga Oh, kind of you to say, but really, I’m the moth in this scenario. Wait. Does that mean I’m just gonna flop over, burnt to a crisp? I need to reconsider this analogy.
Aww, THANK YOU!!! :))))
@ifdyperez of COURSE! 🙂
marjorieclayman you are the dearest! I can only imagine how long this took to do. I shy away from writing things like this because I really don’t think I have the chops to write anything this sustained and focused! That being said, thank you so much for mentioning me and “Living Above The Madness”. It means so much to me that the word spread about people with bipolar disorder and other mental illnesses get the discussion, treatment and attention they need so desperately need. Calling me a shining light is just over the top ~ I try to let the love of God shine through me, sometimes I get in the way, sometimes not so much. This is a wonderful list, filled with people I admire and written by you Margie whom I love and think are the very coolest! This made my Monday, but I know it will do more than that, encourage me to write more, be better and shine baby shine! Love you my friend! All my thanks and love to jeanninemorber scottbaker and thedavereynolds for helping me find this! 🙂 <3
@libbytalks More than happy to shine the light on what you’re doing, Libby. I think it’s brave and marvelous. You deserve recognition for it!
I am honored to be included with such amazing people! However, Margie should be here too!
@AngelaDaffron Margie is here – didn’t you see the URL? 😀
@margieclayman @AngelaDaffron I think Angela meant IN the top 100 😉
I would add @julito77 and @techguerilla
Online exposure is not every thing. Giving best of what you are good for is what matters 🙂
Margie, you are such a gem. I cannot thank you enough for all your support for my cause and for highlighting it here. I love the little nuggets of info you provide for each person. This list is a keeper for me. Will definitely try to get to know many you mentioned. Thanks again, girl.
Margie,
Thanks again for such a privilege. You are in many of my top 3 lists.
#36 is a freakin’ genius!! Thanks for the post! 🙂
What a great list — it was so thoughtful of you to write a little something about each person. That took some time and effort and you are very kind to do it!
Now this is a list worth paying attention to… Personal recommendations mean more! 🙂

This is not fair.
@ Driving School Richmond Hill mmmm that’s tasty spam!
@RizzoTees @ Driving School Richmond Hill spam with spam…spam with spam and eggs and spam…
This list can be even longer! The only people who are more visible online are the seo experts. They know how to dominate search engines with their skills. And the people in other field are always lost somewhere no matter how good they are in their field.
