Machine to Machine: Top 100 Influencers and Brands

by | Dec 10, 2014 | Influencer Lists,

Now we have the ability to control our heating remotely via an app, or tell our iKettle to start boiling water over wi-fi, it seems there’s no end in sight for the potential connectivity between our devices. This connectivity is referred to as the “Internet of Things” and the technology that facilitates it is called “Machine to Machine” (M2M).
As well as benefiting the consumer, M2M technology is also enabling our workforce to save time and money by being more efficient and mobile. M2M technology is a rapidly growing industry and forecasters are expecting it to reach $85.96 billion by 2017 with a 23% annual growth rate over the next decade. By 2020, they predict there will be 12.5 billion M2M devices globally.
At Onalytica we have analysed the online debate on M2M by looking at over 85,000 tweets to present you the most influential individuals and brands that drive the discussion.

Mapping the Network

We have already done some very interesting analysis on the Internet of Things in the past, both on individuals and brands. The analysis showed a very engaged community with a lot of interactive tweets. The M2M discussion seems to be more fragmented and driven by some of the major brands present in the M2M space. This really allows some room for influential individuals to create more high value interactions amongst community members. Check out the map below and be sure to download the full report with top 100 and high quality network map.
