   Congratulations Liz and Lorelle!!

   The rest of you - FABULOUS. You all deserve the top 25 listing and I was fortunate to meet many of you at this year’s SOBCon08 event.

   Keep up the good work guys.

   This is great and amazing. I want to check this influential thing out more. Very cool. Not because I’m a winner, but because of the metrics. Besides, what’s my prize?

   Do you have a link to how we can use this?

   I echo Lorelle’s sentiments - I’m curious on how this thing works. BuzzLogic certainly made their presence known at the conference and you have made it all the more visible.

   So, where’s the link? And what, indeed, is Lorelle’s prize? I want to know!

   I, too, would like some more info. Mainly to support my own marketing efforts and direct my strategy for new directions.

   Thx for sharing, Liz.

   Hi Lorelle!
   I helped to Beta test it. I see a few things. Though most bloggers don’t have deep enough conversations for it to reveal much.

   Your prize is ME!!!!

   Stephen!
   I so love your joyful curiosity!

   Not sure what link you’re looking for. They all seem to be there. I revealed Lorelle’s prize in Comment 5.

   Hi @Stephen,
   The buzzlogic folks are going to stay on top of this one. As they put together a “bloggerly” version, we’ll get a chance to be part of what they’re doing.

   Liz:

   Yes, I saw Lorelle’s prize in Comment #5. Way cool!

   As for the link I’m looking for, I guess I was wondering if there was a link for those of us who are curious about BuzzLogic or a beta program to try or something that would help us see what they saw about your blog. I could just go to buzzlogic.com and flip through there.

   Liz:

   Your response to @Stephen Smith is actually the answer I was looking for - that the buzzlogic people are putting together a “bloggy version” that we bloggers can take part of. That’s what I was asking for but didn’t know it. LOL.

    I sat next to Valerie at the SOBCon and she did a BuzzLogic look at my blog– I have a long way to go to catch up to Lorelle! It was fascinating to see how BuzzLogic looks at blogs– I predict that their service will be a highly desired one very soon.

    Hi Karen!
    No worries. I think most of us have a way to go before we reach Lorelle’s place.

    With the passion and the smarts of the BuzzLogic team, the signs are great for a success. yeah!

    Thank you all for the lively discussion around influence and what it means to you! It has long been our stand that influence has a powerful impact on consumer perception and buying behavior and up till now we have been successfully helping marketers tap into this to enhance their marketing programs. Now, the question becomes, how can we leverage that insight to arm bloggers like you with info that can help you understand your place in the world? So, as Liz and some other folks have mentioned on this thread, we are in the midst of working on some new offerings that are designed to help you understand and leverage your influence as a blogger – or learn how to grow your influence on certain topics. It’s a little early, but we have everyone’s contact info and will definitely keep you posted as we rollout a few beta programs. Also be sure to check out the BuzzBlog for updates!

    Part of our mission in coming to SOBCon was to meet folks like you that can help us understand what matters most to bloggers. We’d love to continue to tap you and this awesome community as we come to market with those offerings. And of course, feel free to contact us directly and we can work on some personalized insights for you.

    Hi Sandra!
    Great to have you as part of the family! Wish that more companies got involved at this level. The folks who move the bricks and the boxes know what’s going on.

    Hi JD!
    You were missed. I wanted to introduce you to a friend or two. But I’m confident that those introductions will still happen.

    Hope all is well now.
