Those interviews are interesting to marketers because they feature Seth Godin. With PageRank the visibility of each interview would be related to the reputation of the site publishing it. With PageRank for People the ranking would reflect the fact that it’s an interview featuring Seth and would focus less on where it was published.

One thing to keep in mind is that this system could be made topic sensitive. We’d be looking at total contribution/reputation for each person for a specific social graph relating to a specific topic. Is some ways this would be like mapping the Hilltop/HITS algorithms used in algorithmic text search to the social space. The similarity is interesting since the Hilltop model of using expert documents to train the system could be equally applicable to establish user reputation on a given topic by mapping social graph distance from known topic authorities.

Five Reasons Sentiment Analysis Won’t Ever Be Enough

Why is it that the social monitoring vendors that support NLP (natural language processing) for sentiment scoring will go on and on about their 80% and up accuracy? And yet, the vendors that don’t offer NLP and opt only for human analysis will tell yo…

There has been a field interested in "people rank" since the 1930s -- it is called social network analysis [SNA]. Here is a quick intro with a brief description of the most popular people & group rank metrics in use... http://orgnet.com/sna.html Here are various examples of SNA methods applied to various networks both on-line and off... http://thenetworkthinker.com

Hi Michael,
You mentioned that is is not an entirely new idea, and you’re right. As far as I know however, this is the first iteration of the idea that’s potentially actionable at the level of general search.
The examples you gave (LinkedIn, Social Media, Viralogy) all use very limited versions of a ‘person rank’ type system, essentially what they do is rerank a list based on measured popularity.
What we need is a flexible algorithm that can evaluate authors against both topic and reputation across the web as a whole.
Yep – it’s not an entirely new idea, but in a similar vein:
We’ve already got this
But that doesn’t mean we couldn’t use this
Best,
