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.

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. 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.

This here is one of a pair of entries, assessing the online impacts of the most prominent individuals comprising the two teams who will be facing off against each other in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on February 5, for Super Bowl XLVI. In this entry we look at Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and the current top players for the New England Patriots.

In keeping with the sorts of things we often disclaim, we stress that this is not a commentary on the athletic prowess, wealth, generosity, or manliness of any of the fellows listed here. This is a measurement and comparison of their digital footprints, as quantified on our PeekScore scale (an explanation of which can be found above, or in more detail by clicking here).

We’ll leave it to the sports experts – both armchair and actual – to opine who who’s better or stronger, or who wants it more. We’re a New York company, with a CEO from New England, so it’s best that we just stay out of talk of winners or losers. We can say with some authority, though, that when it comes to digital footprints these two teams are frightfully, evenly matched. If you’d like to see how evenly, you can click through here to see how the Giants’ top players measure up.

The Digital Footprints of 2012′s Oscar Nominees for Directing

Here’s our second PeekScore list to tie-in with the 84th Academy Awards (you can see the first entry – wherein we rank the acting nominees – here). This time we take a look at the nominees for Best Director.

This list is comprised of three bona fide living legends (and, in our humble opinion, geniuses), a well-established, respected, and previously nominated helmer, and an Oscar newcomer.

As always, we’re not here to grade these men on their filmmaking skills, and we’re not offering odds on their Oscar wins or losses. We’re simply calculating and reporting on where these men stand in terms of the impact they’re each making here in cyberspace. All five have a presence here, but none greater than that of Mr. Allen, who as of this writing is brandishing our ultimate PeekScore of 10. It seems surprising at first glance, perhaps, but if you poke around the Web a bit, you do see that Woody, his life, and his work are mentioned throughout the ether with tremendous frequency; his recent spike in visibility due to awards season only solidifying his cyber-notoriety.

Are you pleased with the Academy’s choices? Who would you rather have seen nominated? Who do you think might win? Who do you think should? Let us know in the comments.

Rank Picture Name Nominated For PeekScore
1

Woody Allen Midnight in Paris 10.00 / 10.00
2

Martin Scorsese Hugo 9.54 / 10.00

Terrence Malick The Tree of Life 8.78 / 10.00

Among the many things a new year’s dawn brings (wintry months, Super Bowls, Golden Globes, and such and such), little is a source of more brouhaha and hubbub than the Academy Awards. This year is the 84th that Hollywood is throwing this lavish shindig in its own honor, and the nominees to possibly be receiving the statues they’ll be handing out during it have now been announced.

If you’re familiar with our PeekScore blog, you probably can guess what follows next. But let us tell you anyway: First by the appropriate category (actor or actress, primary or supporting), and then followed by a full survey of all 20 acting nominees, we’ve ranked the celebrated men and women by the sizes of their digital footprints (an explanation of which can be found at the start of this entry, and also by clicking through here). We make no statements regarding the qualities of the various performances being recognized, nor are we commenting on the likelihoods of the assorted and inevitable victories and defeats. This is a measurement of how greatly the respective impacts of these men and women are felt here in cyberspace, and how these impacts compare to one another. Let the showbiz pundits opine on that other stuff, we just comment on how much people matter on the Internet.

While the list contains veterans and newcomers, superstars and character actors, everyone nominated surely has a presence here on the web; with the weakest PeekScore still rather reasonable. As awards season has already been underway for a spell, and these names have all been receiving their share of coverage as a result, this is clearly a factor in bolstering the scores of the otherwise lesser knowns.

(After reading through the various categories, scroll through to the bottom to see the full list of all 20 nominees.)

The PeekScores of the Cast of Full House

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.

Some have gone on to build mini media and fashion empires, and some have found religion. Some have gone on to have careers on the Broadway stage, and some have found sobriety. Some have, or at least one has, even been revealed (as long suspected) to have inspired the vitriol behind a massive 90s hit record. With this PeekScore list, exploring the digital footprints of the cast of 80s/90s sitcom Full House – shamelessly pandering to the nostalgia of Generation Y as it is – we are not asking “where are they now?” of a boring and/or inactive bunch.

As they are all still active and out in the world, to varying degrees and in different ways, they all maintain an active online presence; with Twitters and/or Facebooks and/or personal websites being pretty much the rule. And the celebrity news and gossip media and the blogosphere have never stopped mentioning this lot either. The Olsens rule the pack, as is reasonable to expect, but the entire cast seems to have made some impression here in the ether.

Are there any beloved (or even hated) TV shows from your youth you’d like to see us give the PeekScore treatment? Are there any cast members or recurring guest stars from Full House we neglected to include below? Let us know in the comments.
