From Micro Persuasion - The Hufffington Post has a little widget on their new Eat The Press site that pulls in data from Google Blog Search into nice little charts. You can customize it to your liking.
I used the People Tracker widget to see how my blog, www.webmetricsuguru.com stacks up with some other popular web metrics type blogs in Technorati.
Not bad! My blog, webmetricsguru had about half the influence as marketingprofs last week!
Here’s an example of innovative things sites can do to increase site stickiness, increase customer retension - it seems so simple - offer people things they like to do - yet I could get nowhere with many of my clients and former clients who just don’t get it, like this one.
I’ve written recently about some of the people who I compared above
With politics, which I just wrote about here’s who was most influencial with bloggers last week
If I was going to judge political buzz, like I do for authors like Juan Enriquez and singers like Ashley Simpson, Taylor Hicks, Clay Aiken and Prince I’d look for trends - I’d collect the stats each week and look for a steady buildup approching election day - this will most likely, all else being equal, become the winner of the election.
Right now, Al Gore has the most mentions in blogs according the new Eat The Press site People Tracker. Does Al Gore sustain that buzz due to An Inconvenient Truth? Does he use it and build on it? If he’s a candidate (and it does not pay for him to annouce it now - the Democrats should "beg" Al Gore to run - and I think that’s what he’s really hoping they do - otherwise, he does not want to bother running - and who can blame him?).
