« Get ready. Social scoring will change your life. »
There is an interesting, and perhaps alarming, trend brewing on the social media scene. Take a look at a couple items in the news last week:
* The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas is providing perks to guests based on their Klout score (an assessment of social media influence)**
* By the end of the year, Twitter said their new analytics will provide influence scores for every user.
* People are now curating lists of the most influential bloggers by Klout score.
* Virgin Airlines offered free flights on a new route to people with high influence scores on Twitter.
* Hoot Suite allows you to sort Twitter results by the influence of the people in the list.

woo hoo, Pat, well done on the book review - i haven't read it, but sounds very interesting. have also not yet checked whether your comment counts as a 5,000 word monologue :-) TNA already started some crowd-sourcing for description, launched in 2007 http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk NARA has recently begun something similar. It is a shame many archivists are only just coming to grips with email as a record. The change is rapid...
