The top 10 neighbors for David Pogue span journalists, tech personalities, news publishers, professionals, academics, authors, and a magazine — with scores compressed into a narrow band from 0.97 to 0.99, the defining feature of a flat shape.

Chris Anderson (0.99) sits at the top, a Professional, followed immediately by WSJ Tech (0.98), a News Publisher, and Fareed Zakaria (0.98), a fellow Journalist. Harvard Business Review (0.98) and eMarketer (0.98) round out the five, representing Magazines and Websites respectively. Tallying the full top 10: three are Journalists (Fareed Zakaria, Thomas L. Friedman as an Author, and Andrew Ross Sorkin), two are Professionals (Chris Anderson and Scott Galloway), two are Tech Personalities (Tim O'Reilly and Kevin Rose), and the remainder are a mix of News Publishers, Magazines, and an Academic (Paul Krugman). The cross-kind pattern is notable: despite Pogue's own subcategory being Journalists, only two of the top 10 neighbors share that subcategory — the audience shape is distributed broadly across tech-oriented professionals, business media, and credentialed commentators rather than clustering tightly around journalism peers.

The flat, compressed score distribution signals an audience that overlaps evenly with a wide professional-intellectual tier rather than anchoring to any single figure or outlet.
