Who doesn’t want to compare their own Internet impact with their friend’s footprint? Your digital footprint will only be like a drop of rain in the Atlantic Ocean but at least you can say your own raindrop is larger than your friend’s.
PeekYou, a search engine with a database recording footprints for over 250 million people on the net, has announced a new application called PeekScore. The new app will size everyone’s digital footprint and allow users to compare their footprints to the likes of Ashton Kutcher or Conan O’Brian.
The PeekScore is a rank from 1 to 10 that the search base assigns to every person; the higher the score, the higher the rank. These scores are updated often and take into account things like: blogging, social network participation, number of friends, number of followers, the amount of web content created, their prominence in the news/blog world, etc.
