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.

Quite recently, and for the 8th year running, the market research firm Millward Brown has released its list of the world’s 100 Most Valuable Brands (the 2013 BrandZ Top 100).

What we’ve done with this PeekScore list is taken the chief executives from each of the companies behind the top 10 brands from Millward Brown‘s survey, to see how prominent and/or impactful they are here in cyberspaace; both individually and in comparison to one another.

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.

The Digital Footprints of Apple’s Top Executives

Clearly, nobody is coming to the PeekScore blog to see what we have to say about Steve Jobs or the somewhat impending occasion of the first anniversary of his passing. As did many throughout the world, we admired the guy and used – and at times even quite liked – his products, and we viewed his death as a loss to the culture.

As a sort of very small (minuscule, really) tribute to his legacy, we’re taking this opportunity to look at the digital footprints of his successor, and the current leadership team over at Apple. Mr. Jobs – who had appeared on a few of our lists here at the PeekScore blog – was assessed consistently by our algorithms as carrying our maximum PeekScore of 10. As he was one of the most powerful and famous men in the western world, that was not surprising. But how much impact has the team who has been leading Apple since his death made here in cyberspace? See below.

Any thoughts on the list below? Any feelings on Mr. Jobs or his products that you’d care to share? Leave us a coment and let us know.

This newest addition to the PeekScore blog does precisely as its subject line claims. It’s comparing not the successes, failures, nor fortunes of these men and women – the CEOs of the top 50 publicly traded companies – but instead their respective prominences and impacts here in cyberspace (their “digital footprints,” as we like to call them, an explanation of which can be found in brief in the disclaimer above or more in depth by clicking through here).

Recently, the job rating site Glassdoor.com posted their list of the CEOs most highly rated by their employees. Additionally, Glassdoor provided more granular breakdowns by industry, including the top 10 highest rated tech CEOs. It is this more specific list of well-liked executives with which this PeekScore blog entry is concerned.

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 PeekScore scale.

Are there any tech CEOs you’d have expected to see so highly rated among their underlings? Don’t keep it yourself. Share with us in the comments.
