Social Measurement Research

Social measurement has been stealing the spotlight in the social computing industry from the beginning of the New Year. Discussion on authority and impact of users and grading such user profiles on individual platforms has lead to a handful of tools that have made their claim on social measurement. Over the next couple of weeks I’m going to be reviewing a variety of these tools and at the end of the research project compile a list of resources that one can use to help measure and leverage one’s social strategies.

I’m going to be looking at social measurement tools that look at;

• Social bookmarks
• Comments
• Engagement
• Influence
• Friends
• Followers
• Downloads
• Favorites
• Views
• Votes
• Links
• And a few more…

Not all measurement tools have their algorithms public or fully disclosed so I’ll compare them to other companies that claim to do relatively the same measurements and basically see if they pull different results and try to weigh the pros and cons of both results. If you have any suggestions or are a company yourself that would like to have your measurement tools reviewed please leave me a comment and contact information so we can talk. You can also contact me at the social networking sites under the “Follow Me” section of my blog.
