2010′s Most Influential Person Online

Jul 28

Fast Company is looking for 2010′s most influential person online and I was wondering if you might be interested in supporting me. Of course I’m not the most influential person online (probably not even in my own house!) but I thought it might be an interesting project to participate in.

There have been a lot of lists going around the HR Community about online influence in various areas and while it’s all a bit of fun and games, it is pretty intriguing to think about how we interact with people online and then what happens when those connections are asked to take action.

According to Mark Borden from Fast Company, “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.”

Sounds pretty wicked.
