But I read Rob's comments and Seth's comments on the same article. To me it all depends on the definition of an "influential." In my personal experience I am influenced in somethings by well placed, well thought of highly visible people. Is that an 'influential'? Could be. But I am also influenced by friends and collegues, most of which no one reading this will have ever heard of. Are they 'influentials'? For me. And who might I influence in turn. So I think reality may be somewhere in between Tipping Point and Anti-tipping point. Just my point of view, so I doubt I will sway anyone in their point of view.

I assumed if Gladwell's treatise worked, he'd be able to go out and tip a product or service and show us how it was done rather than reverse engineering. Same goes for a lot of Tom Peter's stories.
