Two CEO from the domain name industry space have been named by Klout.com/Reuters as one of the top 50 “Most Influential Execs on the Web”
Richard Rosenblatt, the CEO of Demand Media, Inc. is listed as number 34 on the list with a Klout Score of 56.
Bob Parsons, the Executive Chairman of Godaddy.com is listed as number 40 on the list with a Klout Score of 53. (It should be noted that Klout incorrectly still has Parsons listed as the CEO of Godaddy).
Both Richard and Bob’s Klout score are higher as that of the CEO of Group On, LinkedIn and Zynga.
Also making the top 50 list is Esther Dyson one of the most vocal opponents of the new gTLD program who made the list at number 46 as the CEO of EDventure Holdings.
It took a Klout score 51 to make the Top 50 list.
The number one spot went to Pete Cashmore the founder and CEO of Mashable with a Klout score of 89.
Oprah, Rupert Murdock, Richard Branson, Mark Cuban, Steve Forbes, Michael Dell all made the list.
Mark Zukerberg of Facebook did not.
In the spirit of full disclosure, and for the record I have a Klout score of 47.

@NotKlout says
Khloe Kardashian beats all 5o of the most influential CEOs according to Reuters and Klout. Brings new meaning to the phrase “Keeping up with the Kardashians.” @NotKlout
Michael H. Berkens says
Sorry to spoil the fantasy but none of the Kardashian clan made the list, not even Bruce Jenner
@NotKlout says
No kiddin, huh? Khloe Kardashian has a Klout influence score of 89.5, higher than any of the CEOs on the list. Umm, who is Bruce Jenner?
Michael H. Berkens says
What advice has you taken of Khloe in life and/or business decisions?
Kevin Murphy says
My Klout usually ranges between 51 and 53, so I guess that puts me on the list too.

Congratulations to those who made it on to the list!
I feel sure the list would have more gravitas ‘though,
if it ventured to explain why the people were ‘ranked’
as they were…
