Demographics Pro lets marketers zero in on ‘influencers’

Demographics Pro is launching a tool that makes it easy for marketers to find the most influential people on the Internet. The company’s new Influence Search tool lets users reach specific target audiences on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

It’s kind of a marketers dream, as Demographics Pro has created a searchable database of Internet data that can be used to identify the people, media, and brands that most influence target audiences on the social Web. I used it to do a search on myself, and it came up with about 30 pages of data on my influence on Twitter. (Yeah, this is kind of like Googling yourself.)
