Not as influential as you.
The Washington Post had an article about AimFight. This is a new website through which you can compare your popularity to others through your prevalence on buddylists of the aim software. This seems to fill the need for a petty side of social software.
So my score was only in the 600s. I'm a nobody. I've heard tell of people with scores over ten times that.
Is this a predictor of status as an Influential?
Online political influentials would seem to be the same as offline political or someone who is otherwise an influential?
Now I know I need to read the book, but I remember another book that I'm sure many of us have read, The Tipping Point. In this book Malcolm Gladwell outlines three types of people: Connectors, Mavens, and Salesmen. These sound like various subject positions of infulentials.
No reason that someone can't occupy more than one of these positions, but it is more than believable that one position may dominate over the others. In any case utilizing the multiple roles in campaign volunteers and associations couldn't hurt.
