A Little Bird for Those Who Are Searching For Influencers:
while those who are searching for influencers; Little Bird is basically a search engine for influencers. Just feed in a subject, and after browsing through the social graphs in the vicinity of the issue, the app pops up the names of people who are most influential about that particular subject. The app also lets you know about other issues that these influencers are talking or sharing about.
The app is gradually opening up with allowing close to 100 users a day. Little Bird lists lay the foundation for any influencer relations and help in identifying the best voices present. At present, it is only for twitter profiles and few of the popular blogs, LinkedIn and Google + are in the next list. Hence, its quite imperative as who is following you.
However, The main method of evaluating the reputation of an author or publisher is based on the quality of his/her past publications, quality of content, or number of citations and the quality of the journals (impact factor) where the author publishes. LittleBird determines the most influential person on the given topic based on their personal connections, rather than on the content they create, it seems quite irrelevant for one’s purposes.
This sort of ‘social media impact factor’ has no correlation to the quality or importance of a person’s work, it only indicates how active they are on these sites. which could be indicative of how seriously they take their work: the more present they are in the virtual world doesn’t necessarily mean they are contributing something constructive.
Although the idea of a person’s social media presence being used as criteria for evaluation of his or her work is intriguing. Its Certainly a zeitgeist of sorts, the idea that the service providing a “robot librarian” is completely off base.
