TWEET Updates: How Influential Are Your Tweets? What’s Your CrowdEye Rank?

March 5, 2010

in E the Blogger, SV Social Media

CrowdEye has developed a new and proprietary ranking for all people who use Twitter. It’s called CrowdEye Rank and it’s a measure of how influential a person is.

They use some cool math to crunch a set of factors about a person and come up with a score. 1 is the lowest and is reserved for someone brand new to Twitter. 100 is the theoretical maximum.

Everywhere you see a tweet on CrowdEye, you will see a Twitter profile image with a star superimposed. The star contains a number that is that person’s CrowdEye Rank and will help you judge how much impact that person’s tweets have on other Twitter users. Curious what your CrowdEye Rank is, or what your friends CrowdEye Rank is – no problem, just go to People search on CrowdEye and type in your user name.

PS: strawberryfans has a crowd rank of 27.

We will let you know when we get to 40!

Social Media News: Facebook acquires a third startup business called Octazen and shuts it down!

February 20, 2010

in E the Blogger, SV Social Media

According to Mashable:

Facebook appears to have made a third acquisition — this one smaller than its two previous buys. What’s more, Facebook has shut down the company’s service immediately.

Octazen is a Malaysian company comprising two employees. It provides scripts to import a user’s contacts into a website upon sign up, reports Gigaom.

Why would Facebook acquire the makers of an address book importer? It appears to be a talent buy, with Facebook employing the team and shutting down their service (aka acq-hire-sition). Liz Gannes quotes Facebook’s Larry Yu explaining:

This is part of our ongoing effort to add experienced, accomplished technical talent to help drive the company forward in its efforts to be the central way for people to connect and share information.

The top 25 biggest and brightest stars on the internet according to Forbes magazine!

February 11, 2010

in E the Blogger, SV Bloggers, SV Social Media

No. 1. Perez Hilton (Mario Lavandeira)

Ever heard of Mario Lavandeira, Pete Cashmore or Heather Armstrong? Probably not – yet they are among a select group of web celebrities, who have shaken up the entertainment industry and even changed how we talk to each other.

They were included by Forbes magazine in the top 25 biggest and brightest stars on the internet. People unknown in the real world who had gone on to hold huge sway online.

They vary widely from stay-at-home mothers to technology entrepreneurs and bed-ridden films enthusiasts. The fourth annual survey reveals how the world wide web has become a massive levelling force this century.

No. 2. Michael Arrington-Techcrunch.com

David Ewalt from Forbes.com, said: ‘A kid with a webcam can become a movie star; an entrepreneur with a smart idea can get on Oprah; a tech blogger can reach a bigger audience than a bestselling novelist.’

Forbes calculated their influence in four areas. How many web references they had, the traffic ranking of their home pages, how much TV and press interest they provoked and their number of followers on micro-blogging site Twitter.

Mario Lavandeira, a.k.a Perez Hilton topped the chart for the third time in a row. The controversial gossip blogger writes what he calls ‘Hollywood’s most hated website’, and has become something of a celebrity himself.

Buzz Talk: Can Google Buzz really challenge Twitter and Facebook?

February 10, 2010

in E the Blogger, SV Social Media

Google Buzz: A social networking tool that allows Gmail users to share updates, photos, videos, links and more instantaneously online and on Android phones and the iPhone–made its debut today. By the end of the weekend, Google says all 175 million or so of its Gmail account holders will have access to the new service.

Already, just hours after its release, a number of pundits and media outlets are suggesting Google Buzz will compete with Twitter and Facebook, ultimately resulting in a third major player in the tweet/status update arena.

Early indications seem to suggest that the new service–which appears to be optimized for the mobile web–will be very useful for businesses that engage in linking their geographic locations to instant messages. Still, because Google Buzz is so tightly integrated with Gmail, the barrier to entry–if you want to use it, you have to be a Gmail subscriber–might be too high for a large enough number of users to gather and create a bonafide third player in the social networking landscape.

1. Don’t plan it, just do it

Pete Cashmore was passionate about the social media and the social networking tools. It was a personal interest that he spent a lot of time on and he just decided to go for it and start writing about it.

“I felt like social networking wasn’t being covered to the degree it could be. I didn’t necessarily know there was an audience for it. I find it best to dive right in and learn the hard way.”

2. Be focused and work hard

It took more than a year before Mashable started making money but Pete Cashmore was very focused and was constantly working on the site with 20-hour work days being a norm.
