Every once in a while, I do a vanity check and run my name and URLs through Google. I don’t aspire to any level of Social Media Stardom, but it’s nice when someone reads my rants.
This Google gadget by Chris Anderson automates the process, and uses Google’s PageRank system to provide some metrics. I found the gadget in a Wired article called Internet Famous.
When I ran “Bill Sodeman” through that Vanity Validator gadget, I got a score of 54%.
Not bad, considering the scores I obtained for some very well-known bloggers:
- 67%: Julia Allison
- 61%: Dave Winer
- 59%: Ze Frank
- 59%: Robert Scoble
- 57%: Chris Pirillo
- 54%: Gina Trapani
- 54%: Bill Sodeman
- 47%: Cory Doctorow
But there’s room for improvement.
