So you may be addicted to the 140 characters of Twitter and connected all over the virtual world, maybe you are a dedicated ‘Youtuber’ but are you influential, or do you want to be is the question?
Well Fast Company an award-winning monthly magazine, website, and digital distribution platform have started something called The Influence Project which aims to remove some of the mystery behind social connectivity.
What the Influence Project aims to do is remove some of the mystery behind the inherent passivity of social network numbers. This experiment will show what happens when an individual takes an audience at rest and applies an unbalanced force–through suggestion, advice or direction–that converts it into an army of action. That’s power that can be quantified and lead to an understanding that can be applied to both the largest and smallest of networks. No doubt it’s profound to address a million followers and get 100,000 of them to respond. But what does it mean when you have one hundred friends on Facebook and 97 of them click through to a site on your recommendation?
The clicks and networking and connectivity (out to six degrees!) collected in this experiment will provide a compass for where real influence lies on the Internet. It’s something I’m sure every business is curious to know more about. I also think it’s a powerful bit of awareness for anyone who wants to know who in their network is fully engaged with them.

I have joined this more out of curiosity than anything, I want to know when my social network is asked to do something like click on my influence here http://fcinf.com/v/bktm will you?
As at the time of writing this post my current rank is 2,659 out of 28,919 – it costs nothing just one click http://fcinf.com/v/bktm and I am looking forward to feeling your influence on me.
