Houston is the fourth is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the US (after NYC, LA, and Chicago) and is home to the fourth largest collection of Fortune-500 companies at 24 (NYC-84, San Fran-31, Chicago-29).
We’re listed in the top 20 US markets for social media jobs.
Yet, Haydn Shaughnessy’s list of the top 50 social media influencers fails to list a single person from Houston.
We know there’s a vibrant social media community right here in Houston.
We need to right this wrong.
I’m compiling a list of the top social media influencers in Houston and I need your help.
Please submit your top social media influencers below in the comments (and include Twitter handles please!), and we can make sure that Houston is well represented in the social media world!
PS – I’m looking for current practitioners, strategists, thought leaders, bloggers, and people that are big about social media, not just big on social media (i.e. @JoelOsteen is big on social, but not big about social.)

Sonya H. of Yelp / Instagram / Twitter closely reports on Houston’s local foodie world and young profeesionals social scene. She also tweets about the topics of Korean Culture, Women’s Health, Internet Sub-culture, and Women Coders. Her Twitter handle is thesonyah, and from there you can find her other accounts.
Dwight Silverman @DSilverman typically has great content.
Seriously. If we’re looking at reach and engagement and content and we’re excluding celebrities and athletes you have to put @ProsperityGal at the top. https://twitter.com/prosperitygal
There seem to be a lot of influencers from Texas in my network but I have to say Michele @ProsperityGal https://twitter.com/prosperitygal really stands out as a rock star!. She has the Klout and the Kred when it comes to engaging people 🙂
Previous comments have it right. It’s @prosperitygal at the top. @dsilverman has a lot going on too. And @aimeewoodall has a strong following.
Hey Eric,
Have you considered using list.ly to crowdsource this a little more?
No – that may be a good idea. But… I have most of the list put together already based on PeekAnalytics (and I’m maxed out on number of submissions I can make).
Perhaps the 2014 version of this list will be a little more comprehensive.

Michele Price: @prosperitygal

Thanks Sandra! They (and you) are all added to the list! Will hope to publish soon!
