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.
From the gentle tones of public radio, to the abrasive exclamations of the political talk airwaves, to the anything goes environs of satellite broadcasting, with this PeekScore list we’re taking a look at the online lives and impacts of American radio’s many, varied, and most famous voices.
The controversial gentleman narrowly edging out the competition and topping our list is the host of a reasonably popular syndicated show. Many may be surprised to learn that here in cyberspace he’s the king of the radio pack. However, anyone who frequents political blogs and message boards can tell you that many of Mr. Jones’ fans – who frequently and unabashedly share his worldview and agree with his theories – gather and make their presence known and felt throughout the Web. Indeed, it is here in cyberspace more so than anywhere apart from the airwaves that Alex Jones is clearly a big deal.
Of course, it should be added that PeekScores do change. If we were to run these scores again in a month or two, the enormously influential pundit at number two could quite easily find himself on top, or perhaps the legend at number four would for a moment truly be – as he so often has proclaimed – the King of All Media. But at this time – with many large scores to be found, and a strong Internet presence to be detected for the majority of those named below – these are how the PeekScores stack up.
