PeekScore is a rank from 1 to 10, assigned to every person. The higher someone’s score, the “more important” they are on the web. In calculating your PeekScore and updating it often, PeekYou takes into account your known presence and activity on the Internet, including but not limited to your blogging, participation in social networks, the number of your friends, followers, or readers, the amount of web content you create, and your prominence in the news.
Guided by PeekScore, Internet users can discover Web personalities, industry experts, and leaders in any field, as well as learn more about the communities important to them. We invite you to try out this new tool and hope that you make it a part of your daily Web browsing experience.
For first time visitors, a more in-depth explanation of what the PeekScore is – and how to increase your own – can be found by clicking through here.

Who are the Current Professional Athletes with the Highest PeekScores?
What is PeekScore?: PeekScore is a rank from 1 to 10, assigned to every person. The higher someone’s score, the “more important” they are on the web. In calculating your PeekScore and updating it often, PeekYou takes into account your known presence and activity on the Internet, including but not limited to; your blogging, participation in social networks, the number of your friends, followers, or readers, the amount of web content you create, and your prominence in the news.

It’s been a while since we’ve done a list like this, but the good folks over at Forbes suggested this, and it seemed like a great idea. Forbes recently featured their list of who they determined to be 2013′s Most Influential Athletes (which you can read all about here). They asked that we compile our own list of the athletes with the highest PeekScores, for the purposes of comparing their list to ours. This sounded like a fun and perhaps even illuminating undertaking.
What PeekScores measure are digital impacts and presences; or “digital footprints,” as we call them (a concept you will find explained in brief in the header above, and more in depth here). The names on this fairly surprising list speak loudly and clearly to nothing so much as the truly international nature of the Web. Fewer than half the names on the list are Americans, and a sizable portion play a sport which — while the most popular sport in the world by a healthy margin — is quite famously all but ignored in the states.
The breakdown, for those keeping score, is:
7 soccer players
5 basketball players
4 tennis players
2 race car drivers
1 boxer
1 cricketer
1 snowboarder
1 golfer
1 sprinter
1 swimmer
1 NFL football player
While we’re certain this list is bound to irk some and tickle others (although we remind you that this list reflects no opinions whatsoever), we suggest that you share your feelings in the comment section here and let us know all about it, either way.

The PeekScores of Wall Street’s 25 Most Powerful Women
What is PeekScore?: PeekScore is a rank from 1 to 10, assigned to every person. The higher someone’s score, the “more important” they are on the web. In calculating your PeekScore and updating it often, PeekYou takes into account your known presence and activity on the Internet, including but not limited to; your blogging, participation in social networks, the number of your friends, followers, or readers, the amount of web content you create, and your prominence in the news.

As we’ve pointed out here on numerous occasions prior (such as here), we wish we didn’t live in a world where the idea of women in positions of affluence and leadership seemed novel or worthy of singling out. It is 2013, after all. But, there’s no denying that — for at least today — such specific acknowledgements do still often seem appropriate.
That tiny bit of what should frankly be uncontroversial politics aside, a little while back the good people at Business Insider created a list celebrating the accomplishments of who they deemed to be The 25 Most Powerful Women On Wall Street (you can read their article here).
What we’ve done is what we always do, and taken these 25 women to see how they measure up and compare in terms of their relative impacts and presences in cyberspace, as quantified by our PeekScore scale (an assessment of their “digital footprints,” as it were, a concept explained in brief above, and more in depth here).
These women all have scores within a very narrow PeekScore range, with many statistical ties throughout. While no internet superstars to really be found among them (with few if any Twitter accounts or blogs, etc) they are all, at least in part owing to the internet’s extensive financial and business coverage, present and accounted for here on the Web.

Which of the 20 Best-Liked CEOs Has the Largest Digital Footprint?

Recently, the popular job rating site Glassdoor.com posted their annual list of the CEOs most highly rated by their employees. We’ve taken the top 20 executives from the list and measured and compared their PeekScores.
Simply, and as before and as ever, we’re sizing these bigwigs up not based upon the varying quantities of wealth contained within their bonus checks, nor even – as Glassdoor has already done – the degree to which their employees are satisfied with the jobs they’re doing. This is a look at how these popular chiefs compare to one another here on the web, in terms of their respective impacts and presences (i.e., their digital footprints, as outlined above and more in depth by clicking through here), as measured on our nifty PeekScore scale.
Note: SAP has co-CEOs, both of whom are on this list. The list, therefore, features 21 names.

San Pellegrino has just released its annual list of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants for 2013. To both the actually knowledgeable as well as the dilettante gourmands and would-be globetrotters scattered across cyberspace, the list apparently contained some big surprises. We’ll leave opining on all of that to the appropriate sources. What we’ve done here, to mark the release of this auspicious list, is take the head chef from each of the top 10 restaurants and put him through his PeekScore paces, and then pit him against the others to see how they all measure up, digital footprint-wise.
This is not a measurement of their qualities as chefs nor is it even a commentary on their fame in the world at large. Simply, this is a look at the presences and impacts of each of these men here in cyberspace.

The American version of the enormously popular TV show / singing contest, The Voice, is now nearing the end of its fourth season. Inspired by the hubbub surrounding this occasion, we’ve put the program’s past and current hosts and judges through their PeekScore paces; measuring and comparing their assorted presences and impacts here on the Web, or if you prefer their “digital footprints” (a concept explained in this entry’s header and more in depth here).
