Fast Company magazine is looking for the most influential person online: Influence Project. Well, that is certainly pretty interesting…I wonder if there might be a way to parse and analyze this information with regards to topics of influence, what it is that people are talking about.

Here is the basic summary:

ABOUT THE PROJECT

We started with a simple question: Who are the most influential people online right now?

That’s what The Influence Project is designed to answer. By participating, you will have your picture appear in the November issue of Fast Company magazine as part of an amazing photo spread. The more influence you demonstrate, the bigger your picture will be.

You may discover that you’re more influential than you think.

Influence is not only about having the most friends or followers. Real influence is about being able to affect the behavior of those you interact with, to get others in your social network to act on a suggestion or recommendation. When you post a link or recommend a site, how many people actually bother to check it out? And what’s the likelihood of those people then forwarding it on? How far does your influence spread?

This is the type of influence we’re looking for. We want to find the most influential person online.
Who knows? It might even be you.

So, I decided to sign up, and find out what kind of influence I might have. This is not a popularity contest, nor is it some hunt for fame. I know that I am certainly not in the “Most Influential” category, though with several thousand subscribers there is something going on.

So here is my request, if you are a subscriber or visitor and you came to this site looking for information on Productivity or learning to use Social Media for your small business, then please click this Influence Project link and help me to find out how I can better serve you – the readers.

Thank you!
