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 was suggested to us by a close colleague that we maybe try something different with our next PeekScore list. The suggestion was that instead of taking 10 or 20, or however many celebrities, athletes, poets, or whatever, and comparing the sizes of their digital footprints en masse, as we normally do, we take a bunch of different celebrity sibling pairs – as so many are kicking around and receiving notice these days – and pit them against each other in head-to-head PeekScore melees.
So, without much in the way of elaboration necessary, we suspect, that’s what you see below.
In most of these pairings there is an arguable “more famous” sibling, and most results conform to those popular perceptions. There are, however, some surprises to be found.
Although it’s not the most meaningful of bonus tales to tell, a master list of all the participants in these pairings, and where they fall PeekScore-wise in relation to each other, can be found at the bottom of this entry. We figure that some may be curious.
We know there are many sibling pairings we left out. Did we leave out any of your faves? Let us know in the comments.
