Reputation Stalkers - Whuffie Bank
High tech reputation stalkers…yes, The Whuffie Bank is now stalking you on multiple social networks to determine what your reputation is worth. More on them:
The Whuffie Bank is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building a new currency based on reputation that could be redeemed for real and virtual products and services. The higher your reputation, the wealthier you are.
Pretty amazing, huh? Here’s how your reputation grows:
- Detects Public Endorsements — Each time a message you put on Twitter gets retweeted or a Facebook post gets liked by others, that’s considered a positive endorsement for you.
- Measures Level of Influence — A person that’s constantly retweeting others will be spreading the impact of his influence among many people. On the other side, if a person retweets a message once in a while, that will have a bigger impact.
- Considers Existing Reputation of Members — Being endorsed by a Whuffie-rich person will have a stronger impact than being endorsed by an average user.
- Analyzes Content of Messages — A message with a link that gets retweeted usually it’s because of the content in a website rather than the person sharing it in the first place. So when someone gets retweeted for something they exclusively said, that will have a bigger impact on the algorithm. (Source)
I hope you’re ready to be measured…again. Sheesh, and I was just getting over Technorati rankings, ABC list bloggers, and “What’s your blog worth?”
