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

Posted on May 7, 2013 by PeekYou Team

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.

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.

Which of the World’s Youngest Billionaires has the Highest PeekScore?

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.

They’re all under 35, they’re all worth over a billion bucks, and four of them made at least part, if not all, of their fortunes via an association with Facebook. These are the world’s ten youngest billionaires. Comparing their fortunes and/or accomplishments is the work of other blogs, of course. What we here at the PeekScore blog intend to do with these ten vastly wealthy whipper-snappers is compare their various impacts here on the World Wide Web, as quantified on our PeekScore scale (an explanation of which can be found above, or more in depth by clicking through here).

The gent topping our list is a bona fide PeekScore sasquatch, who has found himself topping – or nearly topping – many of our lists before. It’s not surprising that one of the Internet’s all-time most successful entrepreneurs would also have one of the largest digital footprints of course. As you work your way down the list the order of things may hold more surprises, however.

Any thoughts on the below? Any youthful aristocrats and/or captains of industry you would have expected to see on a list of this sort? Let us know in the comments.

Social gaming is now such an established and fully entrenched part of our pop culture, and some of the companies behind its most popular games so prominent, that it’s easy to forget how relatively young it still is as a medium. Only, say, 7 years ago you may have gazed at someone confused had he or she waxed rhapsodic on this billion dollar industry. But here we are.

In honor of this lucrative and much talked about category of gaming, we’re taking a look at the online presences of its most prominent companies’ CEOs. As always, we’re not ranking their companies, nor their individual skills as businessmen or developers, but instead we’re looking at the impacts they’re each making here in cyberspace (their digital footprints, a concept you will find explained in brief above, and more in depth by clicking through here).

Which of 2012′s Top Indie Game Creators has the Largest Digital Footprint?

Posted on February 4, 2013 by PeekYou Team

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.

Back at the close of the still recently passed 2012, IndieGames.com offered their list of what they considered the top 10 indie games of the year (which you can read all about by clicking through here). It’s been a long, long while since we’ve done a video game related PeekScore list, and the time is right. Indie games — due to their frequently having a clear creator and/or creators (as well as simply being an exciting and innovative area of contemporary pop culture) — seemed a natural for just such an assessment.

Below are the principal name or names involved with each of IndieGames.com‘s selections. We’re not comparing their skills at game design, nor even really their fame, success, or notoriety in the world at large. This is a look at where each of them stand at this moment in terms of the impacts they’re each making here in cyberspace. This is a tight, neck and neck race if ever there were one, with each of these individuals existing here in cyberspace to a similar degree, but there are nonetheless detectable differences in their scores, and this how those have shaken out.

Video game fans can be among the more spirited commenters we get here at the blog, and we appreciate that, but please just try to keep your vitriol to a minimum, and your profanity non-existent, so we can actually share what you might have to say (what a shame it would be be to have to delete your outrage).

Rank	Name	Notable Game	PeekScore
1	Derek Yu	Spelunky HD	7.16 / 10.00
2	Jenova Chen	Journey	7.10 / 10.00
