Esteban: yes; that is...Thanks for your comments! <br /><br />Esteban: yes; that is the point. However it is true that when something is radically accelerated & increased you can't quite call it "the same old thing". As for the "how to recognize & rank" I captured some of my own humble thoughts in this article: http://bit.ly/byV7a7 and Michael Wu has done great work in the space (as you well know); an example can be found here: http://bit.ly/9sXwjZ.<br /><br />Steve: Indeed credit to Cialdini (http://amzn.to/xjsz)and many others that have studies & explained these behaviors so well. You are hitting the main aspect in the back of my mind as I wrote this post: We all are influential in one way or another, most of us are taking that influence online and (knowingly or not) making it public and available for others to understand and use... What does this mean in terms of new subject matter expertise? what older SME will be affected? <br /><br />Filiberto SelvasFiliberto Selvashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17661462374086627028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335896614718509671.post-11896881649147113782010-08-06T10:23:48.174-07:002010-08-06T10:23:48.174-07:00Filiberto, thanks for your thoughts on the topic. ...Filiberto, thanks for your thoughts on the topic. I see you've studied your Cialdini :) -- for my money there's no quicker way to understand the automatic mechanisms of influence that drive so much of our behavior, often without us even being aware of our motivations.<br /><br />This is an important conversation to be having, since the new digital tools are ushering in a new landscape for influence and how we're able to impact each other's lives.<br /><br />For instance, we still listen to our friends (the people we like) to find out which websites we should check out. The difference now, though, is that our "friends" can be both ones sitting right next to us, or names and pictures that we've never met before, and maybe never will. <br /><br />It really changes the playing field for anyone who wants to have an impact in the world.Steve Haasehttp://influencerproject.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335896614718509671.post-58563386986456686642010-08-05T23:47:03.262-07:002010-08-05T23:47:03.262-07:00Very interesting point: influence has not changed,...Very interesting point: influence has not changed, it simply has been brought to the forefront due to wider availability of information (hope i got that half right at least).<br /><br />I would tend to agree with you, the more influential opinions are propagated, the more (and faster) we are influenced.<br /><br />However, all this does it bring to the forefront of this discussion (or it should) the way to rank and recognize that influence. Alas, we brought forth the discussion of what (or who) is influential: another smoke screen. If we could focus on how to recognize and score influence, the who and what of influence will answer itself.<br /><br />at least that is my position (not very influential though :))esteban kolskyhttp://www.estebankolsky.comnoreply@blogger.com
