intermediaries
With all due respect, as long time docblog lurker, i think you are an intermediary. You have influence, people are thrilled when you move their names up your blog list. beyond that, when you mentioned the john marks piece, as did a couple of others, it moved up high in goggle, because people are linked to your blog and the network that links to them, etc. having influence, guiding attention, is being an intermediary, it's being a trusted content switch.its just your voice, your journal, but its public and its immersed in an interactive social network.
it can even be said that power accrues to the trusted nodes on the network, more power as they gather more trusted attention. it's interactive, and conversational, so you can't exactly say it's like drawing an audience, but it shares some of that function.
