I think part of the problem is that the community only pays attention to the big names and not necessarily to the unknowns even if they have really good ideas and posts.
Perhaps the onus is on the influencers to encourage folks to look around and experience a diversity of opinions? Of course, I'm sure that seems kinda self-destructive.

I agree man. The more troubling thing is if you look at the Techmeme Leaderboard and start reading the posts in the blogs there isn't much real analysis. These top bloggers are nothing more then Web 2.0 press release stenographers. As you said, it's just that they're louder and bigger than anyone else. I fear how much the echo chamber is making us more stupid.
