Social Media is all about conversations, but can it be defined in a scientific way? 

This is what Rick Liebling, a U.S. Global Director for Taylor, a marketing communications agency, wondered and he created this periodic table, referencing all the different global influencers in Social Media on his personal website, 'eyecube' at RickLiebling.com.

Not only has he listed the different influencers, he has also tried to compartmentalise it by adding the primary area of Social Media that each person inhabits. 

Personally, I was initially a little confused as to how science and Social Media could merge into anything consumable, but it's fairly straightforward and it's also pretty useful. Those familiar with Social Media and the key people involved in stimulating progression in the space will see many figures they already know; however, it's useful for the Social Media beginner as a starting point. It's also useful for the more experienced people in terms of collecting all the different people in one place.
