I hope we'll see some new faces in 2011. Don't get me wrong, I love these guys, but I'd like to know there is democracy on Twitter.
With that said, here are a few more leaders:
Mack Collier http://twitter.com/MackCollier
Marc Meyer http://twitter.com/Marc_Meyer
Beth Harte http://twitter.com/BethHarte
Jason Falls http://twitter.com/JasonFalls
Jen Kane http://twitter.com/KaneCoTweet
Olivier Blanchard http://twitter.com/thebrandbuilder
And if you're on Twitter, I'd love to chat with you too! :)
I have been living in Australia and New Zealand for the last year and a half and while they are further behind socially the North America and the UK there are still some big stand out stars that people should keep an eye on! One of my favourites is New Zealand based, Justin Flitter
http://twitter.com/justinflitter
His content is great, he brands himself extremely well, is incredibly active, and gives more then he expects back. He has also been doing some brilliant work with @zendesk and has an exciting new social project in the works! He is definitely one to keep your eye on :)
Charity... GREAT wish! In that spirit...

I hope it is within the laws of etiquette to nominate oneself:
J.D. Gershbein, Owlish Communications http://www.linkedin.com/in/jdgershbein
I have already been nominated to several such lists.
The tide has turned for LinkedIn. Demand for knowledge on how to leverage it for business is off the charts and there are so few qualified resources out there providing it.
No list is complete without Bernie Borges, http://www.findandconvert.com.
